Back in the 80's I worked part time in a gun shop up in Connecticut, Lebanon Sports Centre, long closed now. I remember thumbing through them and buying Hogues instead, or Pachmayrs! They were too expensive (somewhere in the upper $20s, I think). Oh how I wish I had scooped them, and all the ones I ran across at Springfield Mass gunshows up! Fella could near retire on what some folk pay for those...
