I have a question. Did Ruger mark the inside of the Grips on their Handguns with the guns serial number as did Smith& Wesson?

I have never seen that marking present, except that it is reported that factory ivory grips are marked, in pencil, on the back of each panel. Not a marking for the SN of firearm, but a number related to the pair of panels.
Well Stated Splitz.. Never seen them #.

Why would Ruger do that since the grips are not hand fitted to the guns?

as
splitz' noted, those penciled numbers on the ivories and yes seen some on stags was by the grip makers, to keep them "paired" when in reality, maany times these two numbers did NOT even match??? which goes back to the concept of the grips becoming 'broken" at the time of 'staking' the medallions in them, as well as how often the stags did NOT even match in color of the material used.....most top notch grip makers made sure their work 'matched' up.as well as being "fitted" to any particular gun.....S&W did 'fit' their wood grips to the guns, later on the oversized target grips only had a 'date' marked on the inside, as their being 'wrap around" (covering the entire grip frame) there was no "need" to be 'fitted', thus NO serial number on them.

Have one pair of " factory stags" that have 8.50 in pencil on the back-the price back then as I was in elementry school 8.50 was about like 850.00
as I was in elementry school 8.50 was about like 850.00 that must have been some sort of 'retail" price as we've seen lots and lots of them marked that price exactly..............
