Well, that's interesting. I can't comment on the originality of the grips to the revolver itself (I know nothing about them), but the "inlay" (which is more of a plug than an inlay) is very, very interesting. the last photo is really throwing me. How is it that the plug line is so curved and wavy and yet the fit between the original wood and the plug so smooth and seamless?
This is obviously not factory work, nor that of a skilled artisan, but it's not crude either. Very, very odd. Can you add a straight-on shot of the inside of the grip(s)?
