What are the best grip caps you have seen?

I have contacted Patrick Mavros in Harare for a custom silver grip cap on my R8. hope to pick it up next time I'm there or if I see him here in the States during season. Don't know what it will look like but I'm sure it will look great.

He is a brilliant artist, I'm sure it will be spectacular. Please post photos when you can, would love to see it.
 
I designed one that I think is very unique, but was told by Simon Clode that it was too complicated and probably not traditional enough for most of the trade. It would not be cheap, but it's a slick design. It allows full engraving on the surface and a trap, but with no fasteners visible.

I would love to hear more about that project. Did you have diagrams or a sketch of the design?
 
here is mine (butterfly named after Arthur Neumann ) on my 256 Newton. Engraving done by Lisa Tomlin.

here is a trapdoor conducive for engraving, should be in machining late this year. Sized to fit a NECG long sight hood or a Joe Smithson peep sight.

@Jefferry404 that butterfly is awesome. Love the clean lines and the colors. Thank you for sharing! Please keep us up to date on the grip cap machining.

Good Morning x84958
I have read your post about Jamy Traut and your hunt in Caprivi. I am planning such a hunt for 2026, Oct with Jamy.
Just a question , because I will combine Caprivi and Panorama for PG, is the daily rate the same the week long, I mean the one for Caprivi or when in Panorama it will be a PG rate ?
thank you and congrats for your story.
Best regards
Philippe from France
