There`s probably no way these grips are genuine. As I wrote ,they were on EBAY being sold by a gent from Tennessee. He mentioned they were NOS grips that were 30 years old . Also, when I put them on,being duty grips, they were way too small for my hand. So I`ll see whether or not I can return them. Live & learn. Also there`s no way I can afford to pay $250 for a set of originals. Besides ,I just discovered that the barrel is starting to come loose! No way am I going to try & tighten it! It`s only off a few degrees . You know I really like this old Colt ,but I`m getting in deeper!
