I think they probably had some broken ears and chipped back bottom corners sanded and re-worked.

The bottom halves are not close to even - is that common? Regardless, the end result is a great match for my hands. This is the first official member of my vintage .357 collection and is a helluva shooter. I'm already thinking of it as my oldest grandson's inheritance.



Edited to add - grain seems to match halves. Haven't seen that before.
