Ted, bell bottoms I'm 1968, I can believe.. Polyester leisure suits though didn't come in until circa 1975 and the disco craze. Sorry - I was there too. And by the way 60's-70's music is still in vogue. Believe it or not, Hendricks, The Who, ZZTop, Pink Floyd, Allman Brothers, The Band..... kids still listen to it.
Keep the white spacer...it's unique and will come back like long barrels did.
Leisure suits go back to the 1930s. The poly version got popular in the 1970s, but were available prior.
There exists out there on the ‘net, a photo of Peter H. Johnson, the author of the Parker book, in a polka dot suit, circa 1961. It was quite snazzy I imagine, in the era. Horrific, today.
As I said, I’ve no desire to alter the gun. Or, buy a leisure suit, or bell bottom jeans, or, another gun with white line spacers.
Best,
Ted
