The 1961 31 page Franzite catalog I have is a very informative booklet on the frame size changes on Colts and S&Ws etc.

Sports Inc., out of Chicago, was the name of the firm that made/sold "Franzite Grips".

The Shooter's Bibles from the 50's and 60's have part of the catalog usually reproduced, as Stoeger sold them.

"Non Magna" style,(prewar) were available for a number of S&W models, and I have accumulated some over the years to use as "shooting grips" to spare the valuable "wood" grips on some of my "vintage S&Ws".
