These appear to be some type of phenolic or resin... they are not genuine original bakelite grips.

I agree with Mr. Sabato, most likely molds were made from a set of grips and a liquid resin was poured into the molds. The originals were probably injection molded. The ejector pins are the round circles on the inside upper portion of the grip.

Were these made in mass? I bought them from Europe if that helps. Value?

Sorry, but I don't place much value in these poorly made aftermarket grips. I suppose if they fit well to your particular gun, they are better than a cracked grip, but I would not pay more than $10 for them...if I NEEDED them.
