That is good information that I didn't have. So, non-monogram MOP grips were installed on Smiths at the factory before being shipped to the distributor and/or final customer. That explains the perfect fit of these grips as well as the perfect aging of the grips to the revolver as if they had been on since the day it was born. Like I always say, until you can find somebody still living who actually did it, you will never know what Smith & Wesson did.
