WaA623:

They look like reproductions grips to me. There are many ways of testing to see if they are correct.

Heat a pot of water on the stove. Put one grip in the water for a minuets of so. Remove the grip and try to bend it. If there is any movement in the grip, it is plastic and reproduction.

Original grips are made from a Thermal Set plastic (Bakelite and or Phenolic) and once the material is set, it’s set and will not soften with heat!

Hope this helps.

Regards,

George
