Exotic handgun grips S&W 60-15

[bigcountry4me]

So I really like nice figured wood in my rifles and shotguns, I also enjoy nice exotic revolver and pistol grips.

This pair I bought from a fellow recently. They obviously were attractive but way too large and there were gaps which I simply found unacceptable. They are similar to vintage Herrett’s

The photos are after re-profiling to fit my hand and removal of some of the inlet side for a better, cleaner fit.

Oh yeah, and a quick shout out to Camp Curry Leather for making me an awesome tooled flap holster. This gentleman does very nice work.

Very nice grips. Any idea what kind of wood they are? The grain is interesting, to say the least. The color reminds me a bit of a pair I've had for years and moved from one gun to another as I've bought and sold J-frames but kept these grips. They have a sticker saying Made in Philippines but I don't know what wood they are. The gun is a Model 63 in .22LR.

I was told they are Bocote which makes sense based on samples and pictures I’ve seen. But he wasn’t 100% sure. I know several varieties of hardwoods are available in the Philippines. I also have an older pair of j-frame grips labeled as such.
