Grips opinions please...

Post by luckyd »

Here are two pair of grips that I'm trying to figure out if they are factory or not. The medallions on the wood grips are staked exactly like all the others I have. The horn or bone grips have no medallions...my guess is after-market...but they are quite old. Both are on early guns. Any comments will be helpful! Thanks in advance!!

IMHO,
The first set is not Factory as a rule all factory Shipped grip have the Ruger medallion on them.
The second set is not Factory the bottom of the grip are square cut and some one added their embellishments to the outside bottoms, plus the insides of the grips are different than I have seen.
