Could These Stocks be from Rex Firearms?

Unfortunately, all of the old threads on Rex firearms no longer show any pictures due to those being photo bucket pictures.

I just picked up this set and the inlay intrigued me.

Thank you @Vtgw938 for the possible headstart

They certainly look like the illustration in the ad. I have a Rex pinto pre 27 with the 3.5" tube... it came with non relieved rosewood targets... FWIW. Stunning grips you found. RKMesa has a Rex pinot engraved like the ad. I cannot remember what grrips came on his. Hopefully he'll pop us shortly to show us.

Hopefully, I cant find any pictures anywhere. Any that were posted were hosted on Photobucket and are not viewable

I believe the grips in the ad have ivory diamonds. Here are a few examples...











If I recall correctly, all four of these guns shipped to Rex.

Thank you for the eye candy, gorgeous guns!
They all look like they used factory stocks as the base stock to be modified, and none use a hidden screw nut.
Now i'm not so sure if my stocks came from Rex. Highly unlikely.
The search for the mystery stock makers continues.

Richards 3rd picture, showing a pair of Harry-Jarvis-engraved revolvers, have very rare front-sight blades. They are Seldom seen. The blade is named 1/8" Blanchard Red Ramp blade. It has a very interesting, if short story.

The blade first appears in the 1952 Centennial Catalog. Here is a picture of front of the catalog, and the page describing the blade.




.
Right after the catalog was printed, a problem developed between Mr Blanchard and the factory. The resolution of the problem required redesigning the red insert, and reprinting the 1952 Centenniual Catalog. Here is a picture from the 2nd printing, showing the new design and description of the blade. Everything else is identical to the first printing.



Interestingly, Rex Firearms had published a one-page flyer, during the period of the dispute. It features the Blanchard front sight blade.
