Just had this pointed out to me. This is not a Swiss Vampire grip. More likely to be German Gannet. The Vampire cockpit picture is an oddity, but it appears to be an American warbird conversion to toe brakes. No service Vampire, or venom ever had them.

Hi Bruce,

I concur on your Gannet suggestion. I had one of these grips, and it didn’t have the brake lever boss.
