Unknown set of grips. Any ideas?

Hey everyone!
Perhaps a long shot, but does anyone recognize these grips?

Pretty good, sir.
Next question...and I'll buy you a pitcher if you can answer...what grips did the owner upgrade to? Pachmayr? Hogue wraparound with finger grooves maybe?

Ohen Cepel, that was an exceptional memory feat.

Maybe three or four rabbits ... that was some hat trick !

Thanks guys. Lifetime of being into these things and lots of people helped me along the way with my questions. Happy to be able to contribute back when I can.

Wow! I thought it was a long shot at best! If we ever meet, beer is on me! Thank you!

Have to give credit to Rick Landers. I'll post some info in its own thread, but his new book on signal pistols has been an excellent resource for things like this!
