I just realized that my two 357 Flat Tops have different grips.

1960 1962 Did they change between 60 and 62, or is one of them wrong? (please be the 60 set.... the 62 is too purdy)

top one has the "squashed chicken" , early 70s medallions.............

You might have an idea of how happy that makes me... other than I evidently need to start looking for some 1960's grips.....

You need to confirm the grip frame under the grips. They did not offer that medallion on an XR3 grip frame. I have a few sets of XR3 walnuts. How nice do you want?

The 60 was purchased to pair with the 62 when I was gifted a gunslinger rig, so I would like it to be close to the other. I'll pull the grip later today and confirm the frame. Thanks Troy!
