Hi, I picked up these grips at a gun show yesterday for $20 bucks not knowing what they went to, they were taped together. Ended up buying a nice model 10-5 snub nose before leaving the show for $500. The grips with the medallions are serialized to the gun. The new grips really help with giving me a better hold of the gun. I just need help with finding out who made the grips if possible. Thanks.

Definately not Altamont, or Ahrends. I agree they are probably Sile.

Great deal on both the revolver and the grips! Congrats!
Don’t misplace the original grips numbered to the Model 10!

Now I have another question, I reached out to Smith & Wesson to get the date of manufacture of my model 10. They stated it was made in 1966/67. The book states the model 10-5 was made in 1962. Did Smith make multiple models of the same gun while building different variations in the same year? The book shows the 10-4,10-5,10-6 all being made in 1962.
1962 was the year of introduction of each of those variants of the Model 10.
The 10-4 was dropped in favor of the 10-5, with the wider front sight. The 10-6 was made concurrently with the 10-5; the difference being the barrel profile (tapered on the -5 and heavy on the -6). The 10-5 and 10-6 were both made from 1962 until 1977.
