My Colt Model 1908 Pocket Hammerless succumbed to a common problem.

Numrich lists a set of walnut replacements, with hardware! (Some fitting required).

Their hardware sucks!
So I harvested the escutcheons from the hard rubber grips, shaved a bit more off the inside step to better line up the holes and voila!

The sharp eyed will notice that I got the wrong escutcheon in the wronggrip stock, so the threads are on the left and the head on the right. Machts nichts.
The gun is nowhere near a perfect condition heirloom, so there's no loss in making it more of a shooter; and I did keep the hard rubber until they died.
PS: It sure is cool how some new walnut perks up how an old gun looks!
