Thanks. I really do prefer the "used" appearance.

The double diamond grips are new manufacture; I just like the look. The old plastic ones are what came on the gun. The fact that the rack numbers do not match would indicate that one or both were put on the pistol as replacements.

I was pleased to get a gun used by the US Navy. My father served aboard a destroyer escort in WWII, and my brother and I both served in the Navy during the latter years of Viet Nam.
