Title: om super bh grip
Post by: jthomast on March 24, 2008, 07:28:17 AM
could someone give me a value of 1967 om super bh orginal staghorn grips? I think in 1967 they were optional for about $10.00 thanks.

  Original Ruger factory stags can fetch as much as $575 at times.  This would be if you had the appropriate packageing and of course value is dependant on condition.  With stags it's also very importnat that they be clearly what they're described to be, factory ruger items.

Good point.   One of my OM BH's wears stag grips, but since I am not the original owner I seriously doubt they are factory issue with so many people making aftermarket grips for them, including real stag.    Another point... for years the Ruger grip medallions were available to grip makers (might still be?), so a lot of grips out there with factory medallions are not factory grips.

Originality can sometimes be determined by a careful examination of interior markings, and a  measurement of medallion placement in relation to the edges.

At big $$$, any knowledable buyer will want inspection priviledges.

If you intend to sell them, be prepared to have clear, close-up pics, of the backs of both grips, in addition to pics of the faces - preferably with a small rule laid alongside them, in the pic(s).
