No, not really a plan.  Just a more detailed search for an early Rohrbaugh, to put 'em on.    ;D

How "EARLY" of a pup do you require?  

They show up a couple times a year on Gunbroker missing the orginal grips.

An early, early, R9 would have the blue grips so I'll check out GunBroker real close and watch the Forum here for hints of someone having one and just inquire, like I did for the grips.

I would like to stay with what one supposed to have rather, I think, than put them on a newer model one; however, that could change.  Just pondering ideas for now.

Once again,glad you met this quest!! 8)

Anyone notice in the pics on the inside cutout of the grip,upper right side,the 1/4-1/2 inch difference in the cutout?
Not a great explanation,but ya'll with the blue grips,check and compare to another set of pup grips..

It is not there on later grips..

Just a thing noticed..

That takes a fine eye; you must have superimposed these blue grips on others to have seen that; or else you should have been a diamond cutter.

So Brenden, what does that mean?  I have only this set so don't have anything else to compare them to.

Oh!  Thanks!

Most of the early ones were like that.  I took a blue set of a gun today and it was just like yours.

Great.  Thanks.  I thought maybe I had a lemon set, after Brenden's comments.
