What kind of grips are these?
Picked up these grips for a K frame today, looking for opinions on who they may have been made by. No markings that I can find, but are obviously high quality

I don't think they are Sanderson, but in that style. I believe I've seen them advertised as Sile(?)
Sanderson are not marked, to the best of my knowledge, but this is what they look like most often with numbers.

I agree w/ SDH.........they look like Sile.
The threaded escutcheon is similar to others of their's that I've seen.

Yes, Sile. I have a set that is identical except for the thin varnish a previous owner put on them. And a drop gash or chisel slip in the thumbrest.
I think these were made in Europe in the early postwar decades. Somebody imported them and sold them here in the '70s and maybe '80s. If the name is Italian, it should probably be pronounced "See-lay." I've never heard the name said; I have only read it.

Aha, I agree now. I was too lazy to look at the escutcheons. Getting very old.

They usually sell on ebay in the $20 - $40 range. Yours are nice looking.......if they fit the revolver well, I'd say in the higher estimated range that I gave.
The problem with thumb-rest target stocks is there are various sizes made and hard to fit to a potential buyer's hand (ahead of time).
IMO, you almost always need to try them out before purchasing.
And then again, maybe it's just because I have large, gorilla sized hands

I was shooting my K-22 with Herrett thumb rest grips the other day and it was so satisfying, they might be worth more than the monetary value?
Shown here on a K-38.

You and me both pal, these are way too small for my hand but had to buy them to get the deal I wanted on a set of sq butt K frame combats. Not sure who made them but they fit my hand like a glove. Got a stack of mags for my 1911 in the deal too.
Anyone want to take a stab at who made these? K frame square butt combat, looks like cocobolo, brass escutcheons, great quality, better than the siles' even. Got a label inside but no stamps. Sorry the pics came out a little unfocused.
They look like Ahrends to me?

This is right. There's another recent thread posted on these Charles Daly grips.
