I know what you mean, a nice pair of grips can "make" a gun! I have found that if I can't find original S&W grips (which would be best), I will buy aftermarket grips with nice wood too.

IIRC, S&W had used Walnut then went to the Goncalo Alves wood. Beautiful specimens, Gentlemen!
Thanks for posting.

That has to be one of my all time favorite photos on the forum!!! Not only the guns/wood, but the artistic composition of light, shadow and background is great! I love it every time you share it. Thanks,

Whaaaatttttt??? Does this mean you guys are going to start selling off your diamond grip guns!?! Please give us here a heads up if you do. I might need to cash in on my 401K. Beautiful grips pictured above by the way. :-)

As with just about everything there are exceptions.
These I believe look better checkered.

Are these the ones that you'e talking about (I think that they are Goncalo Alves...)?
They came on a pre-27, but may be a little later???
I also have these ones that I keep on my favorite shooter (a well used 8.375" Pre-27)...

HAHAHAHA!!! Are you sure Paul? That set is a pretty hard act to follow. I have ever seen a set with such consistent grain patterns side-to-side as that pair. I should post a pic of the butt and front/back. They are matching. My BEST gun show buy EVER.

Here's a set of factory rosewood presentation grips on a 1955 Class A two-tone 3 1/2" pre-27. They're my favorites. The grain is like runny molasses.

Kris I'm always sure..... just not always right.
I believe he has an early N frame set with wood similar to this.
I guess they still had a little good stuff left when they were made

S&W Smooth Presentation Grips and S&W Combat grips were always my favorites.
Here's a Model 18-4 with my last set of S&W Presentation Grips.

I know these don't count, but they are John Culinas modern day version.
They are so pretty, I almost hate to touch them with my grubby old hands.
Almost.
The grip screw isnt tight and they aren't pulled all the way together at
the bottom. But you get the general idea.

Wood is beautiful, but Hogue monogrips ae comfortable to shoot --- and don't get scratched. Most of my wood grips are safely sitting in a drawer.

With the Tung Oil, I apply it generously on all the grip, including the medallions and let sit for 5 minutes, then (like the directions say) I buff with "clean lint free cloth" and I buff especially hard on the medallions. During the 5 minute set period the Tung Oil sinks into the wood, but not the medallions and it wipes off easily...

Thanks. I used Birchwood Caseys. Can't touch it until it dries or anything will stick to it.

Think my favorite S&W stocks are the orangeish diamond GA's made in the 1965 to 1967 time period,
Pictured below is a 27-2 (top) and a 19-2 both shipped in mid 1966 and have 3T's , "Proud" FS pins and yellow FS inserts.

That blued 19-2 with proud pins is just plain cool Brad. Very nice.
Did you have it lettered?

Almost.
The grip screw isnt tight and they aren't pulled all the way together at
the bottom. But you get the general idea.

I like these mucho amigo! And so far I am a a vintage guy but those grips are a exception as well as beautiful IMO.
