Blackhawk grip Identification help .

[bigbillyboy]

I am looking for help in the Identification of these grips on this Blackhawk . The serial # puts it at 1977 Date of manufacture . There is the ruger emblem on them so I assume them to be authentic . Are they original to the gun , any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks .

No, not original to the gun. Makers name may be on the back of them. Gun probably shipped with walnut grips.

Aftermarket. Not factory.
As mentioned, pull them and see if they have any identification on the back.

The only factory stags made are for the XR3 grip frame and they were offered in the 1950's. In 1963, the g/f was changed to the XR3-RED type.
