Title: New Afzelia Burl Wood Grips for the Pup.
Post by: BlueC2 on December 10, 2013, 10:38:29 AM
Christmas came early for me this year when I found a pair of Afzelia Burl wood grips for the R9 on eBay. After drooling over this exact set in this thread:
http://www.rohrbaughforum.com/index.php?topic=6489.0 I couldn't believe that they were up for sale. I guess they were originally made by Kevin of KD Holsters and only a couple sets are known to exist. I know the forum admin Duane has a beautiful set. Anyway here are the pics:

What do you guys think of them on the Elite (Note: I just set them on the gun as I don't have an allen wrench at the office)? I think they may even look better on a silver framed pup. Ill post pics when #321 tries them on later.

I once saw those grips on Kevin's R9 when he came through Tennessee. They are outrageously good looking.

Congratulations!

They look better (and much less red) here than they did on eBay.  I would be interested to see what they look like on a silver framed pup as well as I agree with you that they may look even better on it.  Congrats, great snag!

Richard & Will, thank you for your complements on the new grips.

Will, I agree with you that the photos (below) on eBay were terrible and I would not have purchased them if I hadn't recognized them from the thread I referenced in the original post. I was able to compare details in the wood to make sure they were the same pair.

I have very strong reason to believe that these were sold on eBay by our forum member tomuncommon.

Tom, if you are here and see this thread, where did you come upon them?

Hi folks,
Those grips were on the R9 I sold.  They were the only set of Afzelia Burl that we made.  We only made a very few set of grips to begin with.  My favorite set were these.  Glad they found a good home.

Kevin,

Nice to hear from the man who made the grips that I love so much. I had admired those since I first saw a picture of them on your gun. Very glad to have them in my collection now. Thanks,

Ryan
