The fact that they are numbered to the gun is a real alarm ringer because they are not original grips. The screw hole on the back of the grip is a means of holding the grip to a fixture during final shaping and checkering. This is not a feature found on original grips. Someone has made a deliberate forgery by numbering these fake grips to the gun.
