These are the stocks I removed from my M15-4. I’m probably gonna sell them since I don’t need them and I just paid a boatload of money for some stags with the S&W medallions to put on my pistol and I want to offset the cost.
I’m not sure if these are rosewood or Goncalo Alves but in great shape and I’m unsure of current value.

Nice grips, both pairs!

If those factory targets came on your Model 15-4, they are K frame stocks.

Could go either way on the type of wood used to make your grips. The grain pattern on the inside of the grip panels looks like Rosewood to me. On the other hand, the lighter streaking on the outside of the grips looks more like Goncalo Alves.

I forgot to note that the stocks are way too big for my M 15. Thanks for your help with ID’ing the wood though!
Pics show them installed on the CM.

As to value, it can vary a lot. Generally speaking, I think $150 to $200 seems to be about right, however, sometimes stocks like yours can sell for more.

I always list items I might have for sale on this Forum first. Its a great place to sell.
 
When in doubt, goncalo. It is always fun when species is the question. They are N frames as you said and the finish is worn.

I have a similar set and they hardly had any finish left on them when I got them.
