about grips.

No, I would not say that.

Especially since there are so many era's for grips. Also newer repro grips (you could say fakes) are not as well made.

From what I know, original grips usually have stampings or acceptance marks, this might be something like Eagle 655 or the serial number or last two of the serial number. On the collector guns I have or have had, one was E/655, one has the serial number and the others do not have stamps, but I do not feel they are repros or fakes, as in all appearances they are period grips.

I think there are many factors to take into account;

age, markings, stamps, look and feel to the grips and then you decide if they are period, original or fake.
