UM-173, WWII US “Trench Art” Grips for the M1911 .45 Auto Pistol

This item is listed for historical interest only. It is not for sale.
Item #11902

These field made grips were made from Perspex (aircraft windscreen material). They came from the estate of a WWII ETO B-24 crewman. These were an easy way to customize your pistol without damaging it, giving it that cool, non-military look so many GIs strived for. Condition is Good to Very Good. The plastic has yellowed a bit with age and there are light surface scratches. These grips were made from the windscreens of crashed / damaged aircraft. These were also popular because you could put photos under them.
