I thought I'd better show this one off here finally.
Purchased originally from a dealer in this NFG style in the early 70s by the original owner.
The dealer was in Virginia.
I have a couple of 14s with NFGs and have it from the shop that this was an option open to dealers though seldom sought as it defeated the purpose of FGs on the 14 - namely superior grip on blooded hand and wasn't encouraged.
The ones I have are dated probably within 6-12 months of each other. 1 with gold cords and 1 with OD, both with SP stones.
The smooth handle is flawless with perfect lines and symmetry.
Hope you enjoy viewing one of my prized ones.

If anyone has recollection of a dealer in Virginia I'd be happy to be enlightened.

Cheers
