I like to prewar service grip looks. I found these on Ebay. I installed on a model 65 shipped in 1986.

I've probably shown these on here waaaay to many times, but I've been very happy with the pair of smooth combat style Thai grips in a very dark rosewood or perhaps ebony. They differ from the S&W grips in that they completely enclose the backstrap, a feature I like. The one problem I had was that they probably hadn't been dried enough, and shrank away from the grip frame. For now they have some cardboard shims, but I'll probably glass bed them when I get a round tuit.

I have one set of Thailand grips and they are combat grips for my GP100. I was really surprised about how well they fit the revolver.

Is there a particular entity from which to order grips from Thailand that has proven to be of good quality?
I am looking for a set of Combat style grips for a 686.

I was surprised when shipping was listed at $22.00. Previous grips had been $10.
When I got tracking it showed DHL. I ordered on Sunday and received grips on Thursday.

Yours look good. I tried the ones on Amazon but the two sets I received did not have the screw hole or nut centered in the Diamond so I sent them back. The wood and fit were fine but my OCD kicked in and it would have nagged at me.
I ordered a set from Midway and while the Diamond was centered these were finished more like the ones S&W uses at present, a more matte finish.

I just lost a long post, but I received a smashed set of grips this week. Seller has already sent a replacement pair and offered me a discount on my next order. This is my third set from him, not his fault on the damage. His name is jaruwan.p.

Jaruwan.p wants to keep customers satisfied.
I don't have any Thai grips, but from what I've been seeing on the board and elsewhere for a while now, customers seem pretty pleased with them.
Vitoonmakers is the name I've seen most often, but the Jaruwan.p fellow sounds like a stand up guy.

I hung these from Jaruwan in Thailand on my 329NG for dress up.
Great fit .
While I understand the why’s, I’d like to see the listings show the actual stocks you’re buying, rather than an example
