SIGNATURE SERIES 1911 GRIPS ALEXANDER THE GREAT DESERT IRONWOOD

SIGNATURE SERIES 1911 GRIPS ALEXANDER THE GREAT DESERT IRONWOOD

It's not often that we get to create something so powerful.. a piece of functional art that makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. This piece is one of those times.

Imagine holding your weapon, and in the palm of your grip is the 2400 year old silver struck face of Alexander. Minted in Macedon in approx 323 BC.. then held.. used.. paid too and spent by the men who had walked and fought alongside Alexander the Great. The warrior king who inspired generations of warriors and emporers.

Desert Ironwood that is so perfectly hand finished to a warm glow that the the wood itself looks like a hand worn haft of a treasured ancient spear.. inset with 2 ancient silver pieces, each showing Alexander in his Lions skin Helmet of Herakles.

This is not something we can do often... its a truly rare set.

Signature series grips are crafted from the top 10% of wood, then see several extra hours of hand sanding and polishing, with a 2 part oil finishing process that brings out the inner fire of the wood in a rubbed polished look, without the harsh gloss of chemical finishes. Each set has our brand logo inset in copper in the back, our mark that is only inlaid in the signature series!

Fitment: 1911 Fullsize standard frame, single side safety magwell bottom. Grips can be adjusted for Ambi.. please inquire and we can fit them to your ambi needs before shipping.

This set has been fit to Les Baer and Colt frames. The plunger tube fitment and left side safety was fit with these quality guns in mind. While this set will fit any standard 1911, variations in plunger tube, mainspring housing pins slide release and safety levers may require added care when first installing. Do no force grips onto a gun that is not fit for this configuration. If they require extra minor fitting to your exact needs, contact us and let us assist you.

Note on installation. Grip screws can damage exotic material grips if over torqued. Do not overtighten grip screws. There is no need for this. Grips come with orings installed, simply snug up grip screws. You may use a small dab of blue loctite if you feel its necessary. We will not warranty any damage to grips from over tightening grip screws.
