Criag Spegel value?

[NYCMedic]

Could someone please help with the value of a pair of grips made (and signed) by Craig Spegel. They are coco bolo, ambi safety, checkered for a government model 1911. They are in great but not perfect condition. I got them on a YoBo 1911 that I bought but I prefer Hakans grips. Thanks for the help.

Here are some pictures of them that I took tonight. The only mark on them is from the safety touching the top. Please, someone give me an idea of what I should ask for them.

I traded a set of Kingwood to a grip dealer for about $75 worth of other grips. I had them on my table at several shows for $75 with no takers.

Apparently he grades his grips.

Any idea what grade they are?

[NYCMedic]

Nope. No idea. I guess I'll give $75 a shot.

Rist was at the Colt Collectors shows a few years ago, when it was in Portland, and I bought a set of grips from him with the half checkering pattern for 35.00.......

I just can't see grips going for much higher than that........I don't care who makes 'em.

[DuckRyder]

I wonder if the "70" is the original price?

They are some nice looking Grips. ;)

[NYCMedic]

The website is selling them for $95 and up (plus shipping). I'm not sure what grade mine are, but they would not cost less than $95 new. I fugue $75 including shipping is fare. What do you think?

[NYCMedic]

The grips are now SPF. That sure went fast enough!
