Recently purchased a 1931ish M&P revolver which came with a pair of aftermarket target grips, I would like to replace them with period correct grips. Any information or photos of what I should be looking for would be appreciated.

I just saw some on this forum in the for sale section.
Seller is 44magget.
 
There are a few makers reproducing the pre war service stocks. Here's a photo of those that are made in Thailand, I personally haven't bought any from them but have seen a few post here saying they are alright.
Just go to eBay and search"Smith and Wesson pre war service grips"

VAPA,

There's no repros on the market good enough for my taste.

The sharp border corners and medallions are the keys to the right grips.

Medallions:

They have a flat surface, not curved to be flush with the wood.

They are silver colored because they are chrome plated, not like post war nickel plated medallions which have a yellowish sheen, and have a curved surface.
