Nice ones, Jim. Are the 3 in the last photo what's called natural canvas micarta? Does that mean uncolored? ::shrug::

Wow Trand, the blue and green micarta really have that "pop", but I'm a sucker for the 440c ::groove::

Thanks Bonky. The Blue Jean micarta and green canvas were rehandles. GEC didn't offer too much micarta but have stepped it up recently. Here's a short run #72 with black canvas.

I would think that would depend on whether it was made of cotton or linen. More likely cotton since linen is rather expensive to make and not nearly as common as cotton. Natural canvas varies by manufacturer and probably within runs. Check out some natural canvas colors here -- https://www.google.com/search?q=natural ... 24&bih=603
