Hey RPF,
I recently managed to get hold of a Folmer Graflex (No Patent) New York and I'm planning to have a go at building an ESB Cave saber out of it. My question is about attaching the grips, I don't really want to drill into it as it doesn't feel right to make holes in something with historical significance, so I'm planning to use 3M double sided tape, which is what I've done on a previous Graflex Inc build. However with the Folmer models being chrome plated, do I risk the chrome peeling off in the event the grips ever get removed in the future?
Any advice is welcome, or any suggestions in general on this build would be great.
Here's some photos for those curious.
