Anyone the the info about this type of grip??

"Vincit Qui Patitur" on the left side, amazing looks....

Vincit Qui Patitur means "The one who is patient wins." The grip on the left shows a coat of arms, from my research, the family motto Vincit Qui Patitur, as well as the coat of arms and crest is from the Acworth family. All of which are present on the left side grip.

Where did you find all the family heraldry info? Let me know if you can get other family names history and crests, Ive got a couple Id like to look up.

I have a set of grips that the right grip is identical to yours, with the identical coat of arms and motto, but the left one has the rampant colt trademark of Colt Firearms, with the knight's lance intertwined in its forefeet and the spear in its mouth. Inside the grips is the quote"Designed expressly for COLT FIREARMS CUSTOM SHOP by Sid Bell-Tully NY'79."and "designed + copyrighted by Sid Bell-Tully NY 1979.I'm also looking for info on these grips, such as were they a special order, or were they a stock item, Number made, list price, value, etc. They are a neat set of grips, but heavy. Elknut.

I quick Google search on the motto turned up this site:

The motto could also be of other families, too, not just Acworth. In fact, one surname that came up in my search was . . . Colt. And adding "Colt" the the Google search turned up this link:

Here's an excerpt from this page:


So maybe these grips are just showing off the Colt brand name.
