27-2 grips

[Histprof]

I recently purchased a 1978 vintage 27-2. It's wearing target grips with the speed-loader cutout. My suspicion is that these are not the original grips, but I would welcome more expert opinion than my own.

should be football relief type.

Yup, speedloader cutouts didn't start 'til 1882-83. Should be football type.
