Grip question BKH34

[Major E.A. Sterner]

Would the black eagle grips be correct for a 30 prefix BKH34 or should they have the squashed chickens?

The late 30- guns have the "squashed chicken" silver eagle medallions.
The D30-97xxx and D30-98xxx range guns were nearly exclusively silver eagles, and that seems to be at about the point where the began to be seen in quantity.

Thanks Chet,the one I have is 30-61XXX, so the Black eagles are correct.

I initially met Bob Campbell over this issue. He had asked for serial number info on the OM .357 Blackhawks here on the site, and I emailed him my numbers and inquired of him about the proper grips, thus getting the "blackbirds" and the "chickens" on the appropriate guns. And that meeting eventually led to my involvement with Bob's List.

Miss ya, Bob. :mrgreen:
