I really had to think long and hard to come up with a gun that might have Rosewood stocks on it. This was the last Ladysmith they made before going to the 357 J Frame. The only one rated +P and the last one to have solid stocks. Circa 1991. It's a 60-7 and had very brief window of production.

Funny how things happen, just got these the other day.....

I first noticed the beauty of rosewood in 1969 when I purchased a Bear HC300 recurve target bow. It has some of the prettiest (I think) Brazilian rosewood I have ever seen. Kept that bow for over 30 years, even after I no longer competed in archery.

Gorgeous. Interesting too that his design changed, what with that extra pin in there.

I sorta like these combat grips.
I missed out on a nice K diamond set a few years ago.
I couldn't quite afford them.
Luckily I was able to Just make up for that.

Those ones on the left are some real "knotty" stocks, but in a good way.

Just wanted to post the new set I recently purchase from George here on the forum. I had to have them as they made a nice lighter match to the other set of Rosewoods with similar grain. I had never seen a set with this light of material so was happy to work a deal with George to get them in my modest collection.

i KNOW not for a revolver
I was lucky enough to find ! board 4"x32" that had this grain, will probably never find another

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.

Hard to tell without seeing the whole back (inner) side of one or both panels, but if they are for an I-frame, they would be very nice on a little nickel plated snub... glam without looking "pimpified."

Haha yeah, honestly I feel like some of these excellent threads need to see the light of day once in a while. I think any excuse to surface them again should be taken.

Hey...watch it now
What a treat to get to see so many beautiful grips and to have the variances in one species of wood pointed out. Thanks for starting the conversation and to all who took the time to contribute.

Shrewd!
Collecting those stocks are a better investment than collecting stock certificates! LOL!
