Bill, you know I hate the term, but you are referring to the fake name of "black widow" grips?

I would say $250-$300

Bill, I agree with the above for exc ORIGINALS. I know of at least 4 different brands of repros that have been made over the years. The Franzite and ones maked on the inside are easy to recognize and Vintage is now scratching their catalog number on the inside, but some of the non-US made ones are so good that the only way that I can identify them, is that they are lighter in weight than the originals.
