Mike, she sent around a picture of it this morning. The insert says Frank
Pachmayr on it, and it looks to be made out of a hard rubber material.

What he said.
What's the Pachmayr insert made of, plastic, rubber or metal?

Not likely as it is not part of the original gun

Yes, indeed, a nice looking specimen. Given the dates and the lack of an
under barrel ejection rod shroud, this one would be a 1st generation Dick
Special. I believe the other differences in the various generations (mine
is a 3rd generation) comes mostly in the hammer design. It's got nice
looking bluing and the wood grips look very clean as well. The Pachmayr
grip insert is an add-on, of course, which some people liked for Colt and
S&W snubbies to fill out the grip a bit. Given the prices I've seen lately
for Dick Specials I'd place it around $700 - $800.

Easy Erich.
A friends' 1938 dick special, was his father's. I've never seen what looks
to be a
Pachmeyer grip extension in front of the wood grips? Comments?
