Default Can You ID These Semi-Auto Pistol Grips?

I recently bought a grab bag full of random oddball grips and have identified all of them except for this set in fake mother of pearl. It's driving me nuts because, at a glance, they look familiar, sort of European, but when I start looking at Berettas, SIGs, CZs, etc., nothing matches this particular shape. Studying the inventory of all the popular grips sellers online hasn't produced a match, either. They're about 3 inches in height, so fit some kind of compact pistol. Anyone have any idea what these might belong to?

Sorta, but Buckmarks have cutouts on the left-side top for controls and use only a single screw.

Nope, Baby Browning is a .25 with small square grips, the older Browning .380s had taller rectangular grips and the BDA has Beretta-like grips.

Not a clue...but do you really want to know what they fit? It's not that if I were in your shoes I would absolutely have to get the gun they fit...but, gee, after going to all the trouble to find out what they were...and it's probably something strange, ugly, and useless...and I'd be the only one that had one...and the grips are kinda ugly by themselves and they might look better with a gun...I mean how much could it cost?

It's a slippery slope!

True! I know the grips aren't worth anything and they likely belong to some old long discontinued obscure foreign copy of a piece of junk, but it's just one of those things, like a challenge, I've got to find out what they're for. I can't have them sitting here and not knowing what they belong to.

Nope, but that's another good guess- looks like those PT22s are made to pimp out:

FIE Super Titan .380/.32..maybe?

Eventually..you will figure it out..

I had a '9mm' pistol magazine my sister had given me..totaly unmarked except for 'Mexico' stamped on the tang..all I knew about it was it was for a semi-auto pistol and accepted 9mm ammo..heel latched..didn't fit anything or look like anything I recognized.

Then one day a few years back..I was examining a Spreewerke P38 I had just bought...dawned on me the junk box mag had some similiaritys to the P38 mags. I retrieved the mag and it fit and functions perfectly!!...My mystery mag is some sort of aftermarket P38 mag.

Your only option is to keep buying pistols until you find one they fit.

For a company to make a aftermarket grip it would have to have been a fairly popular model, not some obscure make and model that they could have only sold a couple of. Keep guessing!

They look similar to S&W 2213 or 2214 grips to me. Although the screw-hole location seem to be in the center of your grips, where the 2213/2214 seem to be slightly closer to rear.

Vintage Grips are great at making grips for obsolete guns

MAB Model G/GZ - same basic gun as the Echasa... which pre GCA 68 was also apparently imported to the US from Spain under a variety of names. The MAB versions made in France were probably better quality.
