Saw these and wanted to get an idea of if I'd like them.
They happened to fit a vaquero
I do like them

They look nice and like they fit good. Are they slippery?

Not slippery to me but smooth wood isn't either for me.

The actual grips are made of Catalin, a made up name by the original maker, they also had finger groves cut into the inside panel of the grip. Your's are very similar but the originals are a solid material

And BOTH John Bianchi and the folks ate El Paso Saddlery claim to have made his famous belts and holsters. They are probably both right since there are several versions of them.

I figured you'd like them.
I don't recognize a maker either or seen others similar.
There not light weight like modern plastic.
Almost a glass type weight.

I'll have to evaluate further to see.
Right now still pretty clueless.
They did do a great job making them look like real maple.

That’s my guess with the grain pattern in them.

They sure are good looking grips. Nice score!
