Santelli Visconti Grips

[Pho]

Since Santelli has disapeared does anybody know where I can find santelli small visconti grips. They look look the regular uhlmann/allstar grips but the prong is the back doesn't have such a bend to them. I tend to find them far more comfortable than the uhlmann grips.

Also, does anybody know who makes these grips for santelli and what manufacturers have similiar grips? Thanks.

Almost all of the stuff that they didn't produce came from three sources, LP, FL and Prieur. I'm in exactly the same situation, and have ordered LP grips.

Visconti grips made by Negrini of Italy have the same "feel" as the grips sold by Santelli. You can get Negrini grips through American Fencers Supply in San Francisco (www.amfence.com). If ordering via their web site, specify that you want Negrini grips in the section for special instructions. The grips come in the familiar V0, V1, V2, etc. sizes.

Do they also have the V4? The web site has four sizes, ranging from large to extra-small, so I assume the large is the V4 -- but it's not explicitly indicated.

My LP viscontis have come in, and they are identical to the ones I got from Santelli years ago, so I'm now pretty convinced that they were Santelli's source.

Perhaps someone at LP could confirm?
