Yes they are the original grips from 1963 and even though they are boot grips they are extremely comfortable. I just took them off to preserve them and put on a vintage pair of speedloader grips because it's a carry gun.

Here's another set of stock grips modified to tick off the purists. I did try other grips, including Pachmayrs, but didn't like them.

I bought this 25-5 .45 Colt new in 1989. I filed and sanded the grips until I got them where I wanted and haven't regretted it one bit. Very comfortable and a pleasure to shoot.

Did the same Boot Grip cut to a used set of rosewood grips back in the 80's myself. They fit my hand very well. If you think that's ugly try hockey taped synthetic grips on S&W automatics.

As mentioned "back in the day" the thing to do was swap wood for rubber, and being a gun guy back during the revolver era, it was rare to see a cop carrying a revolver with wood grips. Also mentioned, back then most dealers had boxes full of take off wood grips, mostly magnas. Dirt cheap. How fashions change. Now everyone wants wood, and at times you can still find old take offs in junk boxes at shops and shows cheap

Well, day by day I'm happier to participate to this forum. I'm buying these stocks , of course modified, and I hesitate to close the deal. Now I can say I'll go on .

Was at a tiny gun show today. Guy had a 15-3 two inch for sale. The combat grips were cutoff to show the serial number on the butt. I had never seen that before. He wanted $800 an I offered $600. No sale. The bluing was OK but not that great.
