They are Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) manufactured reproductions made of wood that used byf Bakelite ("Black Widow") or Kreighoff bakelite grips as the model for the basic shape... the checkering is NOT like the original, but the inside features give away the method of manufacture.

Since they are a copy of an original grip using a stylus following the curves of the original, the slight differences based on the router bit used have produced them slightly "off size" so they require fitting...

Nice concept, but certainly not original grips.
