What's with the milling machine marks on the grip frame?

Combat revolver grunge look

I think it's just the lighting on the serrations, giving that appearance.

They did it on purpose; makes it easier to hold.

I don't care for the looks of that. To me it's not deep, or pronounced enough, making it look like unfinished tooling marks. Jmo

those are intentional marks, at first i was thinking it was from "climb milling" on a loosely held jig, but the uniformity of the "ripples" would disprove that theory. whatever the reason for it, i would never want that on a weapon of mine.

To my eye, it looks like the grips are refinished, and the cylinder was polished in an attempt to hide the turn ring.

Climb milling was what it looked like to me too.

the front are same type of vertical "gripping" ribs that are on the rear of the grip frame, the lighting and angle of the milled vertical ribs has caused an optical illusion. S&W used to do this as standard fare to many of its revolvers back when this one was made.
