I picked up a nice pre-27 S&W with a S 96xxx Serial no. this past weekend. The gun had a set of the diamond target "coke" grips on it that were not numbered but had obviously been on the gun for a long time.

Can you help me with date of manufacture- I'm guesssing '54 or '55 - and if the target grips could possibly be orginal to the gun or did they have to be a later addition?

THANKS!
