I got a set yesterday, the redddish plastic kind. 5.00 in perfect condition. I have a 1911A1 with Brit proofs on frame & slide. No.767005. The pistol has a custom set, but original style 1911 wood grips. I got the plastic ones to put aside for this pistol. The plastic ones are marked with a star with the letter K inside and the numbers 16 (right) & 20 (left). Do these marks mean anything? What can you tell me about the pistol from the serial, it is a Colt, the slide is anyway.
WW11 style grips

it's a '42 colt. The stocks you found are manufactured by Keyes; they would not be correct for a '42 Colt. I'm not 100% positive, but I think the correct stocks on the inside would would be hollowb ack, unreinforced with a mold number. The slide should also have the matching serial number under the firing pin stop plate. -
