That canopy was made by Aeroglide in Georgia by Collis Griffin (who past away a couple of years ago). Griffins were reasonably popular at the dropzones around Atlanta and there were about six of them on Raeford. The one I jumped was a 95; Greg Offhaus still has it in a box at the loft. Those parachutes opened fine and flew nice, but didn't have the best bottom end. A Griffin had sort of a swept wing design. Not a bad main overall, so maybe you will be able to find someone hurting for cash that needs a main.

I'd tell your buddy to sell the canopy and give you the money. Why should you take on the work?

Talk to the folks at Atlanta Air Sportz. I believe you can still buy a Griffin from them. They are in Rome, GA at the DZ Collis used to own.
