The grips on your pistol are not original.

For the pistol with the complete set of case and accessories, your cost was reasonable.

Actually now that I'm looking at it again, I think you're right. and you saw it without the benefit of a clearer picture.

It basically looks like a cursive U, with the crown covering the bottom part of it.
