Anybody recognize these grips?

[Gun Relics]

These N Frame grips came in and appear to be smooth magnas on tiger (curly) maple. They look spectacular on the guns.

What makes me wonder if they are factory is the lack of a retaining washer on the back side. Has anybody seen this style? The medallion is non-magnetic, I assume a brass alloy.

Any help would be appreciated.

Very nice choice of wood and I always enjoy seeing flush escushions on grips.

Did they use a S&W screw?

Not factory but very nice. I assume these are post war?

Those look great.

Custom, I think. The medallion faces seem to be lower than the surface of the wood in which they are set. Are these stocks thicker than normal magnas?

I notice what appears to be a dimple on the inner surface of the left cheek piece. If that is a real feature, it suggests that these stocks were mounted on a gun with a protruding rebound slide pin. That may point to a prewar revolver, but arguing against that is the apparent lack of a dimple on the right cheek piece that would allow the stocks to fit over the domed rear sideplate screw.

Yes, S and W screw. At the risk of being booted from this section , they came in on an early Model 58. I'll post some pics tomorrow when the lighting is good, it's a gorgeous example. They are the same dimensions as magnas.

I thought I would ask here in this section since you guys really know your stuff.

Here's a picture - these came with an "S" serial number Model 58 .41 Magnum. I'm trying to find the origin from the previous owner. The pic doesn't show it due to reflections but the gun is in amazing condition.

The gentleman I got them from said he bought them from a gentleman at a gun show many years ago. Bob, do you still make grips and do you have a website?

I just emailed Culina grips to see if they recognized them. At this point it's more curiosity. The wood and workmanship is first class.

For sure not Culina, I always centered the medallions.
