Easy GHP grippers

[IzzyGrasp]

I just got my hands on these low level GHP grippers. These are the first I’ve owned so far, as they’re generally out of stock it seems. 
 

I saw someone on here mention the difference between some GHP grippers having a flag and others not. Are these different print runs? Is the flag somewhat newer than the ones without flags? 
 

I doubt many of these low ones will be of much use in my training, but I couldn’t pass on the opportunity to get a few of these for the first time!

Those are great finds, and will be rare in the future.

First generation GHPs featured the logo on the ends of both handles, such as the ones you have pictured, and were made earlier than the second generation GHPs with the USA flag sticker on one of the handles.

First gens also have slightly thicker bands around the handles, and have a more "rounded" and smooth bevel at the top of the handles than the sharper bevel on the second gens.

Thanks for the info! I got these for what seemed like a killer deal on ebay. I didn’t know much about GHP, but considering they weren’t easy to come by and the guy was asking barely $40 for 4 of these, it seemed like a no brainer. The levels 1-2 in my photos have the flag, and 3-4 do not.

Agreed, personally I think that GHP's are the rolls Royce of grippers, the number 1 best out there. Then CPW standards 2nd, coc's 3rd for me.

A total bargain, nice find.
