The grips were made at the factory.
They are pre-WWII S&W "Magna" stocks with the large medallions and other characteristics of that period (basically the mid- to late-1930s).
In the postwar era, the medallions shrunk to their present-day diameter, and the factory took to calling them "Service" stocks.
Hope this helps.
PS: The grips are not numbered to this gun or any other, which would tend to indicate they were originally made and purchased as an accessory item.
