I don't have a clue on who made them but they sure are pretty nice.
I agree. I don't know about the grips but your gun looks great and your photos show it well.After market grips are great and the one set you have are nice. Personally I'd like to keep things as original as possible especially an early model as yours.
I can always appreciate great eye candy and you take great pictures. Thanks for sharing.
Good going. Farrant's name is generically attached at first to all the grips from those 50s-60s southern California grip making masters associated with the LAPD, but they are all equally desirable now. The four dollar Farrant's I found in a gun shop parts box last year missing the plug looked like the top one here. This pic was sent to me by a S&W Forum member. You have a very special Python there. And there had to be tons more S&W grips made by those guys than for Colts. Make sure you don't over tighten the grips on them just in case it's possible to pop the plug out.The mystery is over. It was confirmed by a gentleman on another forum who was a friend and shot with John Hurst, that Hurst indeed carved these stocks.
