Default Age and value of Diamond magna grips

I have a set of diamond magna grips that were on an M&P 1905 4th that I bought, and traded. I think these grips are later than the pistol which was late 1920's. The grips are diamond magna, k-frame,with the screw hole in right grip, blued washer held on by medallion, the serial number was obscured by previous owner, looks like 38 with 187 underneath. They are in decent condition, but have wear from use, some small chips on edges. Do I have these dated correctly as late 40's early post war, or in their condition does it matter? Any info on value, I like them on my 19-5 they feel very nice to me, I can't stand the big targets, but if they have value, and are desirable for someone with the correct vintage revolver, I will post them for sale.
Thanks, Ira

Ira - they are from approx. 1948 and referred to as the "high horn" style. IMO, in their used condition I'd guestimate them to be in the $40-$50 value range. If you like them - use them and enjoy them.
Nice pictures

They are early post war, probably from a .38 Combat Masterpiece, or similar. I agree with VM on the price range, that's about what they would cost you on Ebay. Ed.

Nice grips, if you like them keep them! Besides, one of these days you might very well find something that needs them.
