Grip Schooling Please
Good afternoon, I was fortunate enough to pickup 6 sets of grips from an estate sale. I have verified all are K frame square butt, the #1 grip seems a little larger than the others and is the only one without a silver washer.
Could you help me with the names as far as Target, Presentation, and what ever else they are so I can properly identify what I have. I have taken pictures with and without a flash.
Thank you in advance, I know I can always count on the forum for help.

Don't have my SCS&W handy; but you've got smooth presentation grips. targets with football cutouts and targets w/ speedloader cutouts.
Footballs are older than the speedloaders.
Guessing at current value; somewhere between $600-900/1200.

Thanks Bam-Bam, on grip #1 not having any silver washer does that mean it's not a factory S&W grip?

No: silver washers were discontinued in the Eighties

They look like all late 1970s and early 1980s factory production grips.

The two smooth pair to the right are Presentation and the others are target. The pair all the way to the right are stunning.

Yes but not perfect, I did find a small piece missing near the trigger guard.
Thanks.

Nice grips!
Just looking at them - the set on the Left look like N Frames.

Thanks Pilgram, I was hoping at least one pair was for the N frame but they are all k frame. The #1 is larger, did they make an oversize k frame target grip?

Didn't the presentation grips have the cut-out on the right panel to show the logo?

Thanks to all that replied, I have a much better idea of what I purchased. As usual I can always count on this forum.

Check out this thread. It's helped me quite a bit. It's N frames but the information is useful for K's as well.
