Herrett is still in business but only makes custom grips to order. Many of the grips on Fleabay are production grips made years ago. A benefit of the production grips is that the machined checkering is very sharp and good for target pistols. Herretts will also add checkering if you send in the grips.

As I said, i have had them for 50 years, and they were given to me, by a lawyer friend that took a shine to me. I was pumping gas in the summer of 68 before college, and he was a customer. I saw a shotgun in the back of his car and asked where he was going. He told me trapshooting, and then he took me a lot, and got me into it. i can't tell you how many 10's of thousands of dollars he ultimately cost me shooting trap. Still have my Perazzi and Ljutic custom stocked comp guns. I shoot for fun now. My eyes need more stationary targets now.
As I recall, they fit a 28-2 just fine. I am going to clean them up and refinish them. No chips or cracks, and nice dark aged walnut
