Recent purchase

[szvacek]

I recently purchased a Ithaca 1911A1 from a friend of mine. It was carried by his father-in-law in WWII (1st Lt, 20th Armored Div,)

It has Plexiglas grips that used have his wife's picture under them. The story goes these were common among the soldiers and these were made out of a crashed German plane windshield. Don't know how true this really is.

I would like to find some original Ithaca grips to replace these. How possible it that and would it be costly??

Thanks
