Hi folks,

got some red gusset goose grips off the bay, they are the shorter ones so not re-pops as such but they are marked Taiwan on the flange.

What would they have come off? One of the Taiwanese rather than usa builds?

Oh and will they dye black

Thanks folks,

Sid.

Faded - more of a pinkie red, nice and soft still though.

I was going to bid on them, but felt they wouldn't dye - you could try it and use a fixer with it ? you have nothing to loose i guess unless

they are cool but are they copy's - original's - or for a different market goose ?

Sid these are genuine OS goose grips mate

They are later ones though - Cali era. circa 84+ maybe late 83 at a push.

The earlier ones where usa made and where marked 7/8" in the same area as yours are marked "Taiwan" nice grips though - please don't dye them

Maybe we can do a trade
