Default M38-2 grips

I just bought a M38-2, its firing pin is on the hammer and its serial number is #J989801. Some have replied my revolver was made sometime in the early 80's. Now these are S&W grips but are they the original grips?

Doing a few searches of S&W J frame pachmayr grips, I have yet to find these exact one with the S&W logo down towards the bottom of the grip and I haven't found any photo's of J frames with these grips.

Are these the factory grips my J frame came with? Did any 1980's models come with factory pachmayr grips?
Thank you

HA!! I just found my grips and I think my answer. I just found my exact grips on S&W site on their brand new M642! So if these grips are on the new M642, I doubt these came factory original back in the early 1980's.

My guess is it’s a 1982 and came with wood grips.
