A'me grips
« on: March 18, 2013, 05:19 AM »
What is the difference between the newly manufactured A'me grips and the older productions? I've read somewhere that the moulds are the originals? Not had my hands on a pair to compare them.

Cheers

A'me cams have a different font to 'bubble' or the new typeface.

I emailed AME about that and they reckon it was early 90's that they changed the font.

Have you a contact name there Rob? I emailed them asking if they were remaking Duals, got no reply though. ???

Will have a butchers in the morning mate.  They said that none of the old moulds survived but that doesn't mean they won't do new ones
