Factory Target Grips with Thumb Rest?
Can someone tell me if these grips are factory or aftermarket? They appear very similar to standard factory target grips that i have seen online but they have some material removed from the left side to create a small place to rest your thumb. Also they have a cutout in the bottom to allow you to read the serial number. They are on a model 10-6 with a serial number that starts with D6. Can someone also please give me an approximate vintage of the gun?
Thank you!

Those are aftermarket stocks.

The stocks are similar to factory Targets but missing the medallions. Perhaps someone took the right sided one off and patched it when modifying the left? They also appear to have had extra wood added to the bottom, and no factory stocks of this kind had an open bottom to read the SN.
If you can give the number of digits after the D6 and the first 2-3 numbers (like D678xxx) we can let you know the year it was produced.

Serial number is D64XXX, only 5 digits after the letter.

they look like aftermarket "Sile" grips that have been altered/ modified

Appears to be a 1968 production gun.

Thanks for the info, now for question number two, how did I do if I paid $200 for it?
Also, does anyone have a set of moderately worn magna grips with medallions (and/or a used tyler t-grip) they would be willing to sell? I'd like to swap the grips to that combo.
Thanks!
