The rosewood and nickel work pretty well together on this Model 29-2.

The Many Faces of "Rosewood"
- Thread starter Doc44
- Start date
Fun resurrected thread. These grips were custom made for me by Ajax way back when they had their business in Dallas and the original grips on this Star Model S cracked.
I know I am late to this thread, but had to show my two sets of grips that I am reasonably sure are Rosewood. the "Cokes" are on a 44 mag lettered to Feb. 21st 1957. Mr. Jinks indicated indicated it shipped with G.A. stocks. The second set of smooth Targets also have the Coke bottle profile, I think they are rosewood as well. This set is what was on the 44 when I bought it about 10-12 years ago.

shrade...the cokes are Goncalo alves. The smooth targets are definitely rosewood.

Well since this has been resurrected, I am pretty sure these are rosewood but I would love to hear from the experts

I don't want to hijack this thread but I do like those old style grips but I am wondering how should I take care of them? Thanks in advance.
Young gun they are and even have some spider webbing.

Been a while since I was able to indulge my rosewood lust, but a set of stocks for...something... cropped up on ebay and I couldn't resist pulling the trigger.
I thought I would bump this great thread, although it's a bit sad there are so many lost pictures.
Anyway, what do you guys think. Brazilian Rosewood? Something else?
I Frame?
Anyone recognize who might have made them?
I have to say, half of why I am compelled to buy a set like this is that I have to wonder what gun they were made to be put on, and why aren't they on it?
The other half is that I am a hopeless rosewood junkie.
SixgunStrumpet, those look very much like the work of Art Jewel Enterprises. I didn't know they offered medallions as options but I'll bet they were the maker. Possibly to fit a J Frame round butt ? If so I'll bet they would look great on a Model 60 or other stainless gun.

Good call, they actually came in an Eagle AJE Box. Which, for some reason, the ebay seller didn't bother to mention in the auction!
In any case, I like them a lot, they are very very nice.
I also took your advice:
I think they will do just fine on my carry gun.

They look great !
The magna stocks on this 1939 M&P target look to me like rosewood, but the factory letter says it was shipped with walnut. The stocks are of that era, but are not numbered to the gun.

I have 4 sets of pre-war K-frame magnas, and a couple of them are really dark and red colored, like that gun there. They don't appear to be rosewood to me however based on the grain.

I don't know what wood these are but they look damn nice on my 686 no dash:
