Wolf looks like you got my Colt Grip's younger sister or daughter on your Col SAA.

Whadda ya think about them apples? I jus' wanna get a .44Colt to fit a Belgian Centaure with six shots and a gate :O)
You and I got at least acouple pretty close to the same... That .38spl Colt Navy for one. .. and I know you got one simular to my SN767 C&B Centaure. I'd still like one a them Thuer conversions they are so dang purdy.

You know these naked lady grips are the best right Wolf? ... they are really comfortable to be a holdin' :O)

Well SG, thanks for the kind offer.
Talking offers & I don't wish to steal your thread bu I just could not resist.
We had this 1st European Centaure event at the weekend. FROCS #50 Luger Master brought this nice Centaure conversion in .44 Colt he had made for me.
She (the conversion) was one of the highlights of the exhibition but a few hot visitors and I gave her a light workout, too.
Now the 1$ question to the initiaties: what type of a conversion is this?

Come on pards, pardettes & Colt conversion aficionados.
Sorry, Sir Charkes deMouton-Black, she got some characteristics of a Richards-Mason, but I am afraid no, she is not a RM.
Try harder, get out the Bruce McDowell conversion bible.
I will gladly buy the first one with the right answer a beer when we meet at the September Shoot of the Canadian River Regulators at the Bar H ranch in Clarondon, TX, Sept. 10 to 12, 2010.
