Oh no, not going to mess with it at all--I'm finding out it has a fair amount of collector value as is--the mottled look is what I was referring to, the grips are plastic, looks like they would have been a shiny black originally, but now have dull orange splotches and the surface is sort of uneven looking--I'm sure this is probabely typical due to the age and possibly normal wear--just that the overall look would be enhanced with a set of nice looking grips, but of course keep the originals-----John
