| new to forum I am new to this forum. I just purchased a blued ppk and have not had a chance to fire it yet. It is an Interarms and came with 4 magazines as well as a pair of walnut wraparound grips, I am told from the factory by special order, with a thumb rest on it. It is supposed to be about 20 years old. I am hoping to possibly shoot it this weekend. |

| BTW, I've got a set of PPK grips that I started for a guy who bailed out on the project. They're book-matched, exhibition-grade Honduran Rosewood with a Maccassar Ebony "skunk-stripe", about 75% finished. I hate seeing them just sitting there but I don't have a gun to finish fitting them on. If you want them, I'd give them to you for the use of your gun to produce a pattern.

 Anyway, if you'd like the grips pictured and would be willing to meet with me for a few minutes some day and allow me to trace and measure the grip-frame on your PPK, I'll give you the grips, free of charge, once they're finished. I know it sounds sort of fishy, but I hate seeing this beautiful wood go to waste. If I'd known the other guy wasn't going to follow through, I'd have never started on these. If you're not interested, that's cool too, it's just a thought.

| I really wish that I could help you out and take advantage of such a generous offer, however, I live in mid-Michigan. Quite a way from Texas-- although I do have a daugher and son-in law in Houston. Those grips look very nice. How thin are they in comparison to plastic grips? Are they for a PPK or PPKS. Anything that I can do to take them off your hands? Thanks |
