I haven't seen many pics of this type of grip frame, so i thought some of you guys might find this interesting...
A while back I saw a picture of what I was told was a Euro Frame. I liked the look of this frame, so when i had a chance to pick one up recently i jumped on it. After looking through some old mags I found out that the frame is actually a Pressure Points .45 elite expansion grip frame. Although the frame and the ASA pieces are separate, the frame will not accept normal bottomlines because air travels through the bottom of the grip into the ASA is attached with a different screw configuration.

Here is a scan i found about the grip in Paintball Sports International, June 94,Page 20:

The add mentions nothing about a euro frame. It even says that the makers of the grip are from texas, so I am assuming the two have nothing to do with each other. So is there such a thing as a euro frame, or is it just a figment of my imagination?
Let me know what you guys think, and if anyone else has some pics let see them.

Thanks Bunny, that first scan is really the clue that these frames were made in the US and then distributed in Europe by Sosta's company.
I put all the information I've gathered into the article linked to in the first post and quoted the top scan and your post on the other thread. If you or anyone else has any corrections let me know.

I bought mine from a guy in the UK. I had it anodized black and put some Luke grips on this awesome frame. Works great with a Sydarm and CA adapter. Very crisp trigger.

Don't care much about the expansion chamber factor but they look pretty cool ergo-wise
