I’ve got Pewter Grips just like this sample picture on my 1911, does anyone have any recommendations on how I can darken the back of them to look just like this one. The one’s I’ve got are shiny all over front & back.

Just handle them, and keep them in the air. It's oxidation that causes the darkening affect.

Time is your friend in this case.
