Looks like someone has re painted the medallions on some junk grips. Not factory. And not worth the asking price.

Well, they're really rare!!!.....because Ruger never made any that way. The last of the red eagle medallions were used about 21 months before Ruger's first revolvers were ever shipped.

Yeah but per the description: "Ruger Single Action grips for the Blackhawk or maybe Redhawk" These are the VERY rare and extremely elusive early red eagle Redhawk grips. :lol:
