I feel like an old man...
Not quite sure where this topic fits, but I'll go with Gunsmithing because it has to do with parts manufacturing.
I stumbled across a thread on another forum concerning "Sweetheart" grips made during WWII, and subsequently searched further on the subject. I found a good bit of information and some amazing pictures.
For those who don't know, "Sweetheart" grips were 1911 grips made by GI's using clear plastic, usually old aircraft windscreens from junk piles or downed aircraft. After shaping to fit, they would place pictures underneath of their loved ones, or sometimes Pinup models.
I was wondering if anyone makes them locally, or knows of a shop that carries clear grips?
