Beretta 21A (Lady Beretta)

Member Posts: 5 ✭✭
I am restoring a Beretta 21A that has sentimental value. I know I can buy new grips, but I would like to keep the originals. The 'Trident' logo seal is missing in the right grip. Does anyone have an old grip from which I can salvage the logo, or possibly a loose logo in their posession that they would sell me?
I think the logo in all Beretta models are the same.

Check NAZebay auction #160501937929, the bid is $7.03 right now.
Also a few on the auction side.
I thought the logo was stamped into the plastic.

I have wood grips. The seal I want is a brass disc that fits into its milled location on the grip. The right-hand side has a trident (three arrows), the left has a "PB" embossed seal.
I want the 'Trident".
Thank You for the reply.

Unfortunately, buying a new set of grips from Beretta USA is probably not an option, as they only have plastic grips in stock. Still, it's worth a phone call to Beretta, as, on rare occasions, they have parts that are not cataloged.
In flyflier's position, I would post my request on the GB Wanted list, & check the auctions every week. But, realistically, the odds of finding a pair of wood grips is slim. (You need the pair, as they are matched for color & grain.)
If flyflier also needs a mag with a gold plated floorplate, that's another (long) story.....contact me by email [V].

Thank you for your input.
I have already contacted both Beretta--USA and Beretta--Italy.
No Joy in either attempt
I really appreciate your giving me the correct name for the item I seek -- "escutcheons".
You are correct in that the escutcheons are simply glued-in.
On the Internet there are many sources for new grips of various materials and shapes for the 21A.
The pistol is an heirloom, and I would like to keep it as original as possible. Silly? Probably! So I want to use the old grips, if at all possible.
I hope someone has changed grips on a Beretta and has thrown the old grips in a drawer. I'd take a grip off any Beretta, as I am hopeful the escutcheons are likely all the same. I recently visited a gun show, and all the Berettas I looked at had what appeared the same escutcheons as I need.
