Thank you! Everything you have said here corresponds with my own online research concerning Sanderson grips.

Daniel, that last set of "customized" Sandersons fit a High Standard pistol. Or used to, anyway.

I saw it said here that the numbers on the inside of the grips were to keep pairs together during the making of them. Does that mean the lower the number the earlier the grips?
ETA: I found this on a Colt forum.
"I have been in contact with Janet Snyder who is Lew Sanderson's grand daughter and Don Sanderson's daughter. I had asked her if she could shed any light on the numbers that were stamped on the inside of the stocks. She checked with her brother who worked with her dad making the stocks. Here is her reply:
Cam
Just an update on your question about the numbering of the grips. I spoke to my brother and he said the grips were given a number which coincided with the purchasers name. So it was two-fold — identified left/right grip and who ordered the grips.
Straight from my brother who worked on the grips with my Dad.
Jan"
My set that came on a Model 14 no dash from a California pawn shop.

I initially thought that there had to be more than 99 unique customers/pairs as most stamped numbers were two digits. I am now thinking it was to identify unique customers/pairs while they had orders in the shop, so once an order was completed, the two digit number could be re-used.
