I don't think they are Colt either, but don't have a clue what they might fit. The design on the grips doesn't ring any bells for me.

Look like custom grips for a 1903 Colt Hammerless. Can you provide size info?

They measure about 3" by 1 3/8 wide - They came with a Colt 1903 parts group but they are not Colt grips - I'll have to try them on a 1903 when I get another one- Maybe a replacement set -?? Thanks for the help

Sounds right for an '03, probably what we would now call "aftermarket" grips wink

Only thing that makes me think different is that the is a cutout at the bottom of the left grip for possibly a clip release and also a slight cutout at the toop of the grip -

I agree about the cutout. They might work on a 1903 Colt, but they look like they were designed for something else.

I've seen the top cutout on the '03 and the '08 model for the safety but you're correct, no cutout on the bottom. Was there a knockoff for either the '03 or '08?

I am thinking maybe European due to the bottom mag release - I keep looking at auctions to see if I can make a connection - Thanks for the replies -

With no names on the grips they might very well be from some Belgian or Spanish knockoff.

Those are definitely NOT 03 or 08 Colt grips aftermarket or otherwise. These could fit literally dozens of European small frame automatics. One way to narrow this down is to bring them to a gun show and try to match them up with the autos for sale.
