The Colt Double Action Army of 1878 is a larger version
of the 1877 Lightning or Thunderer with somewhat better
mechanical strength. These grips are from an old original
that had little wear. They look authentic in black or in aged
ivory color (but anyone can tell by taking them off that
they are tougher, solid polyurethane and not gutta percha
or hard rubber, or real ivory).
These grips may look smooth in the pictures, but they have
a fine checkered pattern (and they are not smooth because
they also have the logo and the V-shaped pattern on the
lower half, in any case).
The shape is unique to the gun. If you have existing grips,
it might be a good idea to make a pencil tracing and mail
that to me, so I can compare your grips to the size of the
ones I make. There is some tolerance in the making of the
gun frames, and of course the grips themselves may shrink
or warp with age (not the ones from Tombstone, unless you
mean "age" as in milleniums). So if you have grips that are
slightly small for the gun, and want a better fit, send the
tracing but suggest that it should be 1/32 larger here or
there, and point out where. Maybe my mold will be big enough.
