OK, everyone relax and think back. Back in the '70's, Guns and Ammo magazine ran an ad for a laser engraved walnut grip panel for the 1911 with a picture of the grim reaper decked out in a long robe, and holding a sickle (? - long curved blade on a stick). I thought it was 'cool', and ordered a pair, but I haven't seen them in about 30 years. Well, while I was in the attic putting back Christmas stuff, I saw a box marked "gun stuff", and inside were my bright and shiny grim reaper grips. They are now resting comfortably on my Series 70 Gold Cup, the gun I originally bought them for. That might be a new record for 'time taken to install a new set of grips.'
