I was wondering if anyone knew what these grips are from? Is it a Ruger or an aftermarket grip?
Obviously a fake ivory, or fake bone, grip. They fit a XR3-RED grip frame.

Thanks, Bill

they are aftermarket, knock off of the "after market "grips and there was a guy from Ind or ILL.,, name was Lou Schade, think it was called "Schade Grips" and he sold these '
polymer' grips, crudely done, casting flaws,etc.......BUT, they were different and they were 'cheap'.............and did NOT break ,or chi[p as easily as some of the Ruger ,white plastic grips early on from Lett grip...the bottom corner broke out of them all the time, right at the front locating pin hole..... had to be carefull putting them onto that pin and NOT over tighten the grip screw!!!:cool::rolleyes:;)
