Stunning find.

Wazza, that one is just lovely. Are you going to build it back up to complete?

Are the grips celluloid, or gutta percha rubber? They almost look like an old pistol grip I once had from the same era.
I wonder what it would take to get an accurate casting of those really beautiful grips.
How cool would it be to make a short run of (properly marked) reproductions?

grips are celluloid and the detail is really nice ,be nice to get some made.not sure whether to rebuild it or sell on or just hang on the wall:D
