I have this right panel grip that does not have a diamond in the center, and I have seen some photos of plain checkered grips, but sometimes its hard to tell if it is legit, or some aftermarket version, or a clone like the Spanish Eibar. Can anyone advise on this ? Here is an example of mine:

Thankfully I have a spare set of grips for an 1878. I see your point on the mainspring screw on the frame being covered up, but what if it was meant to be covered? Does this photo move us closer to, or farther away from a Colt 1878 ID?

It does resemble a Colt 1878 double action revolver profile, particularly the semi-circle at the top

I have been struggling with this ID, it looks like a birdshead grip for something like a Ruger, but I cant find any clues. It seems nicely done, but no markings.

Thanks guys, I am zeroing in on a Colt D Frame short grip for the 2nd one, and a Herrett's colt for the first one as well, just need to do more homework on that first one because the cutout in the front is unusually large, and it lacks the semi circle on the inside.

I included the top grip with a S&W K frame grip to show size difference, with the grip screw lined up in both.

Yes, I am a collector, and have accumulated lots of junk over the decades, oddly, I am not into revolvers, so I dont have enough of a selection to try these on. I am trying to sell off my parts now so that my heirs have less to deal with, and then will start to sell off my guns in the next...

As an example, I have the following two that I am currently researching: Not very easy to identify, since they have no markings, and are aftermarket. I think the top one is a Jay Scott brand, but thats just a guess.

Long shot question: I have a box of about 20 revolver grips, that I have had no luck identifying. Many are aftermarket and unmarked. Does anyone know of a service where I can pay a fee, and mail these grips to someone, who can verify what revolvers they fit, and then mail them back? Its a...

Ancient post I know. But has anyone solved the mystery of the Mustang Grips marked CD (as well as 3) . I have 2 sets of these exact grips, and the internet has not gotten any smarter on this topic in the last 8 years.
