Sweetheart grips

[Cybrludite]

A friend of mine who generally isn't much of a gun person has run across the a page with pictures of "sweetheart grips" (Clear grips with pictures of wives, girlfriends, pinups, etc) WWII, and is enamored with the concept. Enough so that she's thinking of starting a side business making new ones. Figured I'd run it up the flagpole here & see what folks think of the idea. She's thinking of doing them with vintage cheesecake for starters.

I think the idea is retarded, therefore i expect him to make a fortune.
I am one of those invaluable to marketing first adopters, if i adopt it early it will fail.

I can think of quite a few people (I run with an odd crowd, what can I say?) that would be very interested in something like this. Sid Ryan makes scrimshaw grips, some with cheesecake-type pictures, and seems to sell the crap out of them, so it's not that far-fetched a notion.

Now that I think about it a bit, I can think of several pictures that I'd like to see gracing the grips of some of my handguns. (Get your mind out of the sewer, and back up in the gutter, with the rest of us!!)

Most of my firearms don't have removable grips.

Ho do they make them? Mold and bar epoxy?

Most of the originals were made from discarded plexi from aircraft windshields/windows/canopies. It's not that hard to shape and with enough Brasso, you can polish anything.

People with too much money have made these in weird ways.
