OK the gun was 1950's BUT it does have pre war grips. Most of the OM Matchs had oversized grips as standard... much like the Python
You can tell they are prewar grips because the Colt medallion is nickle the later grip medallions looked cheaper and were a shiny silver or gold colour. The grips alone are worth $50 to $75.
Also in the box are 2 after market grip adapters, most common on prewar guns.
Value stays the same. these are GREAT guns to shoot. Most prewar target shooters used them. Great lock up, smooth actions. The real knock on the gun for modern shooters is that they are 38's, they like the 357.
