    Victory grip folk art ?

    While going through stuff to sell , I came across a set of grips that came on one of my .38 S/W Victories . I was told it was a pre-war set someone had put on the gun. I found a set of correct style grips and corrected the pistol. I was going to put these up for sale , but now I might not. Looking on the internet , I can't find any grips like this.
    The late Victories are smooth no medalion.
    The early Victories and pre-war are checered with medalion.
    The turn of the century ones are like mine , but all I've found have much finer checkering and smaller diamonds.
    The grips are marked 273XX , looks like 27342 , but not sure.
    Did they mark the serial number on early production ? Or could this only be post "V" start ?
    I kind of fancy a bored Tommy or GI with a sharp tool and some skill.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    I'm with you on the folk art thing. The earlier S&W grips had the diamond by the whole thing was better than this. I think user mod...
