Prince of Wales (POW) Grip

So Edgar.... what you're saying is that regardless of what we (the Brits as well as the Americans) call them, they are otherwise all alike in design, contour and shape? If you answer "Yes" then you're right, I will disagree.
I know you spent many years in the British Isles, therefor are more qualified to make that determination but yes, I have a different opinion.

Wow, it took you 12 minutes to jump on the keyboard? You're slipping, as evidenced by the fact you didn't read what I said about the shape.

Prior to Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, AKA The Prince of Wales, who knows what the British referred to the shape of the stock as. It was Bertie's preferred stock and that's when the term was first coined. In the eyes of the British, regardless how we further broke it down, anything that was neither capped, or straight, was a POW grip.
It may or may not be correct, but neither is our slang of calling every Straight Stock an 'English Stock' correct.

When they asked me in high school if I wanted to take French, Spanish, or German, I should have asked if they taught 'Romig'.
