Wow is not good enough! Magnifico, Bravo and a few Huzzahs.
Forty years of chasing after and drooling on Smiths those are the nicest grips I've had the pleasure of seeing.

Very nice grips, what frame do these fit? Keith came to my NE Ohio S&W meeting last weekend. Bought 2 sets with the same wood you have. I'll send one set back to him to checker after I figure out what gun to put them on. If you're close to Cleve., I'll have another meeting in the fall. Larry

Beautiful
Keith Brown is definitely an artist, who takes the designs of Walter F. Roper and reproduces the grips of the French born artisan Mathias Gagne who actually carved "Roper" grips of the past. Keith makes his own screws (He's a journeyman screw maker) and escutcheons out of stainless steel and nickel silver respectively. It's indicitive of what a great job Keith does in that his grips actually surpass the original "Roper"s through his use of Juglans regia wood. You are very fortunate, Keith has a waiting list of months.
