Question about 1911 grips

[august1410]

I didn't like the grips that came on my 1911, so I gave them to a buddy and bought a set of Colt grips for my pistol. Upon further inspection, I have picked up a set of 150th Anniversary grips....apparently they were only available in 1986 and seem to be quite desirable.

Can any of the 1911 or Colt gurus here confirm or deny this? There is a listing on Gunbroker for a set, but there are no bids on them. I paid MUCH less than what the Gunbroker listing is priced.

I like the checkered, too. If these are forty dollar grips, that's cool. I paid thirty for them.

They have been on the pistol for a couple of weeks now.

They shoukd have 150th on them. I had the both the black with silver and the walnut with gold medallions. The both had "150th" on them.

Mine do. The Medallions are gold Colt 150 Medallions.
