    To the best of my knowledge Johnson was using the leather-wrapped wood grip until 1926.

    I believe when the A-35 came out in 1927 that they switched to rubber grips. I cannot tell you if the Johnson name was on it or not, but I honestly don’t think that showed up until sometime in the 1930’s.

    FWIW I’ve seen many 1926 vintage A-25’s and P-30’s with the leather-wrapped grips, but never anything later.

    Hope it helps.

    He's livin' in his own private Idaho..... I hope to go out quietly in my sleep, like my grand-dad did..... and not screaming, like the passengers in his car...
