Just picked up one of these little spur trigger revolvers in really nice shape. Wierd thing is it has bright red coloured grips with sort of a marbled look to them. Initially I thought they had been replaced, but upon closer inspection I believe that they are original. Is this possible? We've all seen antiques with wood, ivory and black hard rubber grips, but bright red? Does anybody else have one of these with red or any other unconventionaly coloured grips? I will say with the nickel finish it's quite striking in appearance.

Not quite, but close. Could be the pics, but mine are less orange looking, more red. Also my pistol has an octagon barrel. I'll have to try and get some pics up.
Duly noted. I took them off last night and while I was careful they didn't seem overly fragile. I will definitely handle them gingerly in the future though. As it stands right now they are in very nice shape as is the entire pistol.
Whether that is the case or not, I had no idea that there would've been that sort of thing available as an aftermarket part back then! Interesting.
this is my old one. i dont know if i sold it or still have it somewhere. and i seen lots like it and have had lots of them
AND YES It's FACTORY!

Thanks for the clarification. Do the coloured grips add (or subtract) anything from the value?
