    USMC,
    I did pay $50 for the ones on ebay, they had just the right amount of wear [perfect], and were correct for my late 1911A1 Colt , the $15 pair that Simpson sent were comp. worn out, not worth the $15. I am very happy with the ones I got on ebay.

    I am glad you found a good pair!

    Simpson is a "hit or miss" kind of deal. They sell used stuff and I expected to get fair/worn grips. I've had good luck with them, I got grips in fair condition, and like I said, they sent me another pair because they sent me a cracked one by mistake.

    I did find a near mint pair on ebay for 15 bucks, the seller had listed them as plastic, off brand. They turned out to be original Keyes. Score!
