COTEP Scrimshawed Grips or What Ever You Want

[NAMVET72]

Jason G said he would do them for us........

Here is the Kickers:

1) He will do them during the Summer
2) He doesn't make Grips so you will have to send him a set of grips you want it on.
3) We need to make this a Great Show of Members...............

Scrimshaw will be done by hand, using a stylus, not laser etching.
The materials that work best for scrimming are buffalo horn, ivory (expensive, I know), and polymer faux ivories. I have done paper micarta before, with good results, but it required a whole lot of extra work to keep the ink from actually bleeding into the surface of the material. I might would have to charge slightly more for anything that requires a lot of prep work, etc. I would test the backside of a panel to see if this is the case, and notify you if I think it might be extra work, or worst case, a no-go.


The design would be the one I designed, the oval with the 1911 in it, that's on the supporter tag avatar.

The work can be done in black or white.

I'd try to do these for $50 shipped CONUS if y'all are interested.

If you think you would want a set, post up, and we'll make it official.


Thanks guys. If I think of anything else, I'll edit this post.

I like it! I have a set of Ajax faux ivory that would be perfect. I'm IN!

I'm in.

Or if need be you can have something else scrimshawed on your Grips...........

But you will have to PM or E-Mail him the pic of what you want done...........

I'm In.

If I read these posts correctly, the grips would have a Nude wearing the COTEP insignia on one grip, and, to scare away evil spirits, 's likeness on the other one. I guess the material would need to be brass to keep from warping.

All humor (or lack thereof) aside, I am interested, but need to figure out what my next pistol will be, in order to get the correct size grips.

I'm just being a smart a___. My medication is probably wearing off. When I figure out what my next project is, I will probably send Jason a pm. As usual on this site, it seems to be quite a good deal.

O.K. I think am in.

I have a pair of Tru Ivory grips that I just took off my CCO do to them feeling slick. I was going to sell them but now I may not.

With this give me a lot more grip then the smooth surface I have now?

Would the design go longways on the grip?

Thanks

Ehhh, unfortunately, I'd have to say it wouldn't be enough to add to the "grippiness" of the stocks. You'd be able to feel it if you rubbed your finger across the artwork, but I don't think it would make much of a difference in the feel when you used your weapon.

I can do it either way, so if you're still interested, let me know when I send pm's out.
