This past Fall I received an inquiry from a customer if I could do something that would
compliment his "Ed Brown Custom Kobra". After a good deal of R & D, I developed this snake
scale checkering/carving. It provides a grip that not only looks good, but has a secure positive
feel. They'll dress up any pistol*, as well as work with those with snakeskin metal treatment or
names. (Python, Kobra, and so on...)

I can cut the scales in customers smooth grips with your choice of custom options, or you can
order a set from our grips in
stock. Price on customers grips, 1911 style, approx. 10 square inches
coverage:- $125 on medium hardwoods (walnut family, maple, some exotics,
etc..)
- $155 on very hardwoods (ironwood, snakewood, ebony, etc..)
- Other types
of grips (revolvers, etc..) priced accordingly
Like my tradional Checkering, this
work is all cut by hand, which is more labor intensive and time consuming, but after all, cheaper &
faster seldom if ever equals better. Any questions, please contact me at adessa@mcn.net or
