Pawnshop colt with pedigree

Was at a pawnshop making a payment on a Ruger I had on layaway.
I happened to ask them if they had any pawns or used guns coming up for sale in the near future,
He said he had one "beat up old pistol" in the back that was going out for sale after he cleaned it.
This is what he brought out.




A bit ratty, to be sure,
But I took the grips off and went over it with some light polishing compound and a rag,





The pearl grips are pretty beat up so my plan was to replace them with some wood grips. Once I took them off I threw them in a shoebox in the closet and forgot about them.
On a whim I decided to letter it. Three months later the letter finally showed up.
Well wouldn'tcha know.



Shipped to Wolf and Klar. Coincidentally, shipped to W&K only two weeks before Bonnie and Clyde's 1908 was shipped to W&K. So maybe this gun rubbed elbows with history.
I decided I'd better find those grips and have them restored since its probable they were installed by W&K. I found a guy named Don Furr who is supposed to be a wizard with grips, so they are on their way to him right now.
Once they are reunited, I'll take pictures to show his work. It's pretty impressive from examples I've seen.
Anywhoo, thought you'd enjoy seeing another diamond in the rough.
