Diamond Magna Grip Differences?
What is the difference between the various diamond magnas? I have heard of high-horn and PC type, and possibly others. Can someone post pictures of the various types?

I'd also like to see a photographic log of all S&W revolver grips through the ages as it would be a good sticky for reference.

There are good pictures in the Standard Cataloge of all the stocks through history (of the outside and insides in some cases).
I don't know if scanning them and posting would be a copyright violation or not, so I'll wait for a moderator to weigh in on that before posting any.

Thank you for not scanning the SCS&W as that would be a copyright violation.
Look through the notable thread index and you will find all kinds of threads like this one

It's true that if you want to look around on the forum, a lot of grip information can be found. But it would be far better were it well-organized in a single location, by date range and frame type, and providing even more esoteric information regarding medallions and how they were attached.

If I had the source material, I would. But my collection is severely limited in grip variety.

Lobster,
In the thread posted above these K frame Magnas were posted. These are the early 1950s "Sharp Shouldered Magnas. Both K and N frames came with these:
High Horns are always smooth and only came on Centennials (2nd down on left) and semi high horns on Bodygaurds (top on right):
More on stocks:
