I have the exact same pair of black grips! Mine came from a gun dealer's grip box, so no gun to report. Same poor quality pattern right grip, same exact back side! Same normal quality left grip! I have documented 3 such pairs, yours is the 4th I have seen. The right grip is the only thing of interest with these pairs, the left grip is always seen to be a normal known grip panel. I believe the right panel is a late WWII last ditch sort of grip because only the right grip is so crude and is true bakelite material. Why would a fake grip reproducer only make s right hand grip panel? That does not make sense. Additionally, I do not believe a reproduction bakelite grip exists, I will stand corrected when proven wrong with evidence.

See post #215 (mine) on page 22 near the end of the thread.

Ps, When you say "softness" of the checkering I assume you mean the diamonds are dull and rounded, not that the material is soft like plastic.
