I had a charm made in Peru about 13 years ago modeled after a grip.

The first thing people asked me was "does it open"?

Well, that bothered me, 'cause it did'nt.

Earlier this year I had another one made, identical to the first, 'cept this one works !

Check it out, it measures about 2 1/2 " long, made of 18k gold.

Quite a conversation piece.

Looks like the real thing! Is it gold all the way through, or is it gold over a base metal?

Solid gold, bro.

It's kinda neat as a conversation piece, if you are a layperson, you don't know what it is and ask.

If you are a lineman, you say :"cool"

Very nice! Must be about a one or two grip....
