I have a Baby Browning .25 automatic which I purchased in 1954 it has pearl handles but they are warped and cracked and the screw that holds them together is missing. Does someone know where I can find a replacement.
Thank you for your help

Your .25 must be the chromed lightweight model. They used "Nacrolac" imitation pearl grips.
I don't believe those grips are available, unless you find them used. There were fake pearl grips made by Jay Scott, but they don't look exactly like the Browning grips.
I have made exact replacement grips for the Browning, but it's a lot of work. |

agree about the imitation MOP, but brwning did offer real MOP as a factory option on the gun. I don't know what browning charged, but colt charged $12 extra for MOP on the 1908 vest pocket, which is basically the same gun. The colt's sold for $19, so $12 grips were a big deal back then!
back then, no well dressed man or woman would go out w/o one of there little gems in a pocket, handbag or garter holster.
gun on top is colt junior, with jay scott grips. on the bottom is the vest pocket with factory stocks.

Commerative Arms http://www.commemorativearms.com/25caliber.htm bought out the entire parts supply for these guns from Browning a few years ago. They still show the Nacrolac as "in stock", but price is listed as "POR".

| GOOGLE, "handgun grips". Lot of manufacturers and dealers show up. Eagle is the top one on the list, they make Browning Baby grips in both MOP and Elk. Not cheap though. |
