Recently picked up a very nice pre model 10 .38 Military and Police 2". It was made in 1951 according to the S & W "bible". It sports nice albeit incorrect medallion grips. Now i have to find a set of diamond grips for it. Just thought I would share it.

Thanks. It actually looks better than the pic. Excellent bore and hasn't been fired much.

You are probably looking for sharp shouldered magnas like on my 1948 .38 M&P snub. Notice the sharp ridge on the horn of the grip. S&W made them like this from 1935 to about 1951 before softening the shoulder of the horn.

Thanks for the information. That's a beautiful M & P. Could be a twin!

Beautiful piece. Nice to have the box. Those are definitely the type grip I am looking for. Are you retired GIPD?
