Just Got These Python Grips Today. Do They Look Factory Original?

[Wyatt Burp]

I got these off Craigs List today for $20. They've been there a week but the seller wouldn't take the $10 two other guys offered. They fit my 1980 E-Nickel Python great. My gun has some dings so the dings in the grips kind of match it. The medallions are a mellower gold color than I expected, which I prefer if they are original. The seller said his Python that he sold wearing Pachs. was purchased in the mid 70's. I don't know if the gun was new or not. Do they look original to you guys and if they are, what do you think they are worth in this condition? There's no markings on the back. I really like 'em. Thanks ahead of time for your expert opinions.

Legit, and a very nice set.
The earlier Third Type Target grips were made of better, darker Walnut then the later versions.

Usual prices on these start around $150 and often go for significantly more.
$20.00 is a case of armed robbery, only you were the one armed.

Strange how the star on the left looks pink in the picture.

It is. When I found this gun in a pawn shop it had red paint on the front sight and remnants of it in the lettering which is really dumb. The front site is still red.
