What are those grips for? (I searched...)

[dbarale]

I just got these from Fleabay hoping they were pre-war K frame.
Well they are not, by far.
So what do they fit? Is there any value to them (the checkering is actually sharper than it looks in the pics)?

My Guess is that they aren't even Smith & Wesson. Diamonds look too funky and they are just plain crude... (sorry no offense meant!)

I'm guessing Eibar or Rossi, maybe Belgian.

My guess is Spanish

They resemble the pre war Smith you're thinking of, but look thin towards the butt end.

I guess that's why they went for as little as they did.

None taken, I actually thought they were Victory grips that had been hand checkered by some unknow artist. Which would have been fine with me. Oh well, at least they were cheap.
If anybody has a use for them let me know...

Dead on, Drew.

My guess is that those grips are from a Spanish copy of a K frame. They are not S&Ws, as you have found out. Ed.

The giveaway is the knurling on the screw escucheons. S&Ws are smooth.

They are actually more of a J frame size. They're small...
