Does anyone else have a pair of these suspected fake grips that may have come from the same source? If we can get some comparison photos posted in this thread, we should be able to see IDENTICAL marks on the inside.

The outsides "look" good to me, but the extreme shininess is disturbing... and my initial impression is the same as above... that these have been recently molded from a "genuine" set. Let all who can please contribute to this thread, do so, till we can try and resolve this interesting question.

I would consider one possibility... that there may have been some kind of late war formula change in the type of phenolic or plastic being used due to critical war shortages, but that is simply a theory... I also have say that I have not seen any specimens this shiny in the past, and that is what makes them suspect to me...

I hope Luke Smithwick is listening... I would love to have his input on these photographs...
