Please take very high resolution (say 600 DPI) closeups of the inside of the grips as glare free as possible. At first impression I believe them to be reproduction grips of fairly recent manufacture. Luke Smithwick and I did the study on the original bakelite grips, and with proper photos I believe we can determine their originality status... Just so you have some idea what genuine bakelite grips are worth, a member of this forum, just paid over $200 for a reasonably nice pair on ebay in the last 72 hours.
