I have a model 28 highway patrol, that the front corner of the frame cut off and looks like it would fit in that grip.

It doesn't show well in the pictures, but the top of the grip is cut straight where a S&W or an older Colt has a half circle. The locator pin in the frame is about right, too. Haven't tried whacking off a MK III to prove it, though.

The checkering is not in the classic Farrant style.

I'd say Hurst. All of his grips that I have seen (only three pair,one of which was mine) had someone's name written inside them like yours.

+1, Fat Tom. Those are Hurst stocks. The checkering is John's style (he liked the diamond around the screwhole) as are the palmswells and base. I have several identical sets, with and without the frame cut. John liked the open-back with a shoulder and this was his favorite stock for his own revolvers. He would make just about anything, though, and made sets for M52s and 1911s.

The checkering looks like Hurst. Also, the yellow marker (or grease pencil) screams Hurst as well.
I can't say I am a Hurst expert, or anything of the sort, but every set of Hurst grips I have seen have had the yellow marker.

Thank you all. Good tip about the name usally being marked inside.
I didn't think I'd ever seen a Hurst stock and turned out I'd owned a pair for ten years.
