JeffPeterson Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Can somebody identify what GHP this is? I've not seen a stamped handled before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenMorrissey Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 (edited) GHP handles are stamped underneath, to assist with identifying which level they are if the stickers are removed/get lost. Looks like there is some glue residue on the handle end. Based on the appearance, I believe this is a gen 1 GHP 7 gripper, but I would need to see the full handle (including top) to confirm.

Jared P Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Should be easy to differentiate between Gen 1 and Gen 2. Gen 1 GHPs have thicker bands around the handles, and a completely smooth/rounded edge on the top of the handles. Gen 2 GHPs have a beveled/sharper edge on the top of the handles. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C8Myotome Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Looks gen 2 cause of the thin lines 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipshod Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 I already made a comment about how to tell them apart on your 130 gripper thread 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
degradated Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Some of them are missing stickers, so it could have had either a GHP plastic logo or an American flag. Here's an easier way to differentiate, Jeff. Attached is a photo of a GHP2 gen.1 (right) and GHP2 gen.2 (left). You can see that the top of the handle knurling doesn't wrap up into a smooth radius like the Gen 1 but it's rather jagged. Even more apparent are the thinner lines for the finger grooves. Hold it up to any of your special editions and if it's got thinner lines, it's a Gen 2. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex K Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 (edited) This is a Gen 1 GHP7, 100% guaranteed. On the second handle with the flag sticker (Gen2) the handle is flat and has no number stamped on it. Plus, the lines appear to be way thicker than on Gen2 Edited October 10 by Alex K 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1ackD3ath Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 + gen1, thick bands on knurling for 'fingers' handle, little pit-placement for second silicone sticker(removed). Stamp on gen2 under silicone sticker, not under the flag one. Even last sticker discoloration whispers: i'm so damn old and nice like wine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C8Myotome Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Yeah this is gen 1 I originally looked at just the lines and the handle was angled making them look thinner. The rounded edge does indicate gen 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they function and feel exactly the same, aside from looks differences. The gen 2 has 1 of those, and a sticker (boring) and the other 2 described differences above 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
