ok, if you look at the red, black, and silver rail and sight rail the two shots are of the same side of both pieces together, you can see the difference between them left side vs right side.
the two green sight rails show it the best in my opinion, they are the same three colors yet the black sponge and gold splash are vastly different on the two.
the frame is the only one I have and I put it in to see if it helped Chrome.
lastly is the splash mag of many colors I have been toying with as a project. what do you all think?Comment

Do you have a shot of the frame from the side, with the grip panels off, and do you know which make/pattern the splash on it is? I was thinking about it yesterday and OPBN's frame almost looks like it could have been a cocker frame milling job at manufacture with the holes drilled for the mag safety/trigger pin instead of for the cocker. Am I wrong in thinking that around the beginning of splashes being made, there were cockers made by either of these companies too?Originally posted by vintage View Post
Mine maybe looks like a "skeletonized"/ULE version of the same. Maybe a difference between early/later production (assuming the difference is not just SP vs. Eclipse) having to do with either being a "dedicated" mag frame from the start or not?Comment

Unfortunately, these are the best pics I have of past splash parts.
I almost wonder if that isn't my old blue set Chrome?Comment

This is what I have learned during the time I collected splash parts.
The Splash kits came from the UK. There was no difference between the SP and the eclipse in the beginning.
Eclipse wanted to have their own kit and Eclipse made their own design on foregrip, body rails, sight rails, power feed plugs and tourney lock.
There were also changes on Eclipse kits later on.
The bottom body rail is the early model.
The same with the tourney lock.
Sorry for bad English and bad pictures.

At quick glance. I thought the rail spelled "ECLIRSE", with how the splash comes across.Originally posted by swe_crazy View Post

You would have to ask Pinky where he got it from. Could be, by looking at it, as I think I agree that the sight rail was a later addition.Originally posted by OPBN View Post
Swe, your English is just fine, and your pictures I hope will be a great help to Bunny putting the guide together. The differences in the tourney locks are clear, but funny as it is considering the conversation, the milling on the rails is a little obscured by the splash patterns. That pic might need a little help later to clarify.Originally posted by swe_crazy View PostSorry for bad English and bad pictures.
I was hoping you would join in the conversation in researching the differences in splash parts, as you have a large collection to sample from - it helps when looking for differences or trends.
So, the interior milling on vintage's and OPBN's trigger frames is the same, and clearly different than mine. Does anyone have a frame with the same milling as mine to confirm if this was a standard style factory new frame, or if maybe mine was one that someone sent in for anno and had some metal milled off of before the color went on? I thought I remember someone bringing up in that recent ebay thread with the grey minimag that splashes were sometimes done on parts customers sent in, and not just on parts made to be sold new as splash parts?Comment
