Nickel Colt Python

Hi all, I have a question regarding series 2 factory target grips for an early 80's nickel colt python. I have seen many sets and am curious to know if there is any way to tell if they are original or remakes. I have seen some with serial numbers printed on the unfinished side and some without. Does this make a difference? what should I be looking for so I don't pay a premium price for grips that aren't original. I will add a couple of pictures of the ones I'm interested in and would appreciate some opinions. Thanks

those are indeed factory grips but i think they might of been replacements . most of the modern colt revolvers i've seen had numbers on the inside of the grip printed not stamped. so i suspect someone went and bought a new pair or ordered a new pair and replaced the old ones. check out the colt firearms forum but those grips bring any where between 150.00 to 200.00
