Regarding SDH's Griffin and Howe ad, the set of stocks on the right (which appear to be for a Colt) look strikingly similar to what we know as a Roper "fully checkered" design and the stocks on the left look very similar to Roper as well. Is it not possible that G&H contracted Roper to produce grips for them? I'd think so......
I don't see how you can tell anything even approaching definitive from that ad; I can't. I'm a lot more careful about attributions especially when there is not a splinter of real walnut or a single real document as a guide.
They kinda look like Sanderson, Herrett, KB to me???? Is it not possible G&H contracted...
