Model 1950 Target .45 with Keith Brown grips

[turnerriver]

I ran across this 1950 .45 Target awhile ago. It had a pair of Coke grips which were too new for the gun, what better excuse than to get
out a set of Keith Brown Turkish Walnut grips and put them on ?
The revolver shipped on December 3, 1954 to Leacock Sporting Goods Co., Inc. in St. Louis, MO. and is original and correct other than the grips. I’ll report back after I can get to the range.

Very nice and clean. Hard to beat a set of grips from that Keith guy!!!!

Amusing that you removed set of grips that were "too new" for the gun, and put on a set that were much newer. They certainly do look nice, although I'm guessing the Cokes did too.

WHAT?! Where is the floral carved Heiser that you bought the gun for?
Great combo S&W-KB

Keith Brown Roper grips are so fine. Even close up they look like they would be impossible to execute and they look great on your vintage S & W.

Beautiful gun and grips!!!

Thanks for sharing,

Thanks, all. I should have noted it’s .45 ACP and the Cokes were not in as good shape as the gun.
