I recently picked up an ammo box of ammo and an toolbox full of cleaning kits/supplies. In the cleaning kit were 2 Smith and Wesson wood grips. Was looking to see what they are from and if they are worth anything to sell.


Set one

    If both are N-frame grips then you have $200-$250 worth of wood there. Nice.

    How can I tell which frame they go to?

    Someone else will I'm sure give measurements to determine N from K, but the larger are Goncalo Alves target stocks most likely from the 1970s and the lower are service stocks from the same period. The service stocks would have slightly rounded bottom edges if they came off a fixed sight revolver, like a Model 10 or 58, or would be square edged if they came off an adjustable sighted like a Model 15 or 28.

    Target stocks of the 70s go for anywhere from $50.00 to $75.00 and service stocks about $30.00. If the service stocks are N frame they'll go for a bit more as relatively few N frames in that time period were fixed sights - Model 58, Model 520 come to mind.

    Were either "diamond" type they'd be worth more, Smith "Coke Bottle" target stocks go for about $400.00 or so.
