Hello Sackpeterson
Nice S&W's you have there. Those Roper Grip's Look Like a Keith Brown Recreation ? Here is a set of The Real Roper Grips Hand made by their Maker Matheis Gagne and Marked on the rear 1936. Roper grips fit the revolver and the users hand like no other Grips made period.
To Obtain a set of them their maker required you to send him a Hand Pencil Tracing prior to him making them. I have found No subsitute for them. Keith Brown does an excellent job of making these recreations, but with the Higher grain Definition he has in his Grip's it is a Dead Give Away that they are his not the originals.
If you Look close at the Rear of the Original Ropers shown you will see the date of 1936 Scratched into them along with his Tell Tale Square Peg holes seen on all his grips as he used a Square Peg Jig to hold them in Place while he hand cut the Checkering on them.
For some strange reason Matheis Gagne did not Concentrate on High grain Definition in his Grips, but never the less they are the Nicest fitting grip's I have ever had, and Falling in Line with the thread on 22 Revolver's they are shown on my 1936 K-22 Outdoorsman Revolver Made the very same Year as the Grips were. ...

Yes, my OM has authentic Ropers, the K22 authentic Sandersons.
Hey Sack
I have Never seen Roper's with that style high Grain Definition. About the Only way to "Convince" me they are authentic is to show a Picture of the Rear of them. I KNOW that Nobody else ever made them with the Square Peg Jig Holes other than Roper and there are a Lot of Knock off's out there Circulating, claiming to be Originals. Let's see a Picture of the Rear of them to put this to Rest....
