Grips on my 66-1

Can anyone give an approximate value on these grips? I am pretty sure they are plastic. But they do have the Smith and Wesson Logo. Thanks.

Assuming they are genuine faux pearl plastic in mint condition .... $40 to $60 . Those have a more narrow range of appeal than most aftermarket grips (IMHO)

What does it say on the inside?

Altamont Company Made in USA.

They're an acrylic plastic, and the ones shown for the RB K frame on Altamont's site says temporarily unavailable, with no price given. The N frame magna in the same material is listed at $41.

I have Altamont grips for most of my revolvers, they fit perfectly and look great. I have the rosewood style on my M66-1.

Okay. Thanks guys. I didn't think they were worth much. They'll live in my safe from now on.

I wouldn't get rid of them unless you get a "new" price for them. Altamont seems to be in a backorder or out of stock condition much of the time. You can use them to preserve your factory stocks, but if you're like me, pearl isn't my favorite. When I see them, I always think of the film Patton, when a reporter asks about his pearl-handled revolver, and he say's "They're IVORY. Only a pimp from a cheap New Orleans whorehouse would have a pearl handled pistol."

Patton is the first thing I thought of when I saw these. I purchased the pistol and it had three sets of grips with it. These, a set of pachmayrs, and a wood target set. I have the pacs on it now. I may put a set of Hogues at a later date.
