  Original Ruger factory stags can fetch as much as $575 at times.  This would be if you had the appropriate packageing and of course value is dependant on condition.  With stags it's also very importnat that they be clearly what they're described to be, factory ruger items.

Good point.   One of my OM BH's wears stag grips, but since I am not the original owner I seriously doubt they are factory issue with so many people making aftermarket grips for them, including real stag.    Another point... for years the Ruger grip medallions were available to grip makers (might still be?), so a lot of grips out there with factory medallions are not factory grips. 

 
Evolution at work. Over two million years ago the genus Homo had small cranial capacity and thick skin to protect them from their environment. One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus

Originality can sometimes be determined by a careful examination of interior markings, and a  measurement of medallion placement in relation to the edges.

At big $$$, any knowledable buyer will want inspection priviledges.

If you intend to sell them, be prepared to have clear, close-up pics, of the backs of both grips, in addition to pics of the faces - preferably with a small rule laid alongside them, in the pic(s).
