OK, I'll post a picture of mine here too.

I bought mine from SOG. It is a 1950. It was advertised as VG - Exc, but is nearly new. It came with the original grips that had a thumb rest. But, I'm left handed, and the thumb rest is on the wrong side for me.
I bought a pair of Russian grips without the thumb rest and installed them. In order to use the flat Russian grips, I had to remove the safety, which was just an after thought thing anyway. The safety was added in order to meet import restrictions. It originally did not have that safety. After I removed the safety, I tapped the holes with 10-32 machine screws that I made as plugs. I used locktite to keep them from falling out.
It's a nice little gun.
