I'd seen those before, but always on old war time 1911s.

There's a company in Turkey that makes custom photo grips now also. Just read about them the other night.

Didn't someone post on here last year a story of a WWII vet that had made his own grips (similar to those in the OP) with a photo of his wife and lost track of the gun and the story was about its return to the man's family?



*As a side note, these type of original grip panels have their own collectible category called "sweetheart grips" or "trench-art grips".
