Spade grips for a 1919 or M2 Browning.

.50 BMG for the grips, not sure why there is no cut out for bolt latch/release and lock (for "semi auto") on the bottom maybe it is off a M3 aircraft gun ??

I love this place. Ask a random assed question about a part for something maybe 8 people in the country have have, and boom! Answer from someone who actually knows what they're talking about.

my dad had them as long as i can remember, before I was born so that would put them over 48 years old.
any comment on the sights?
we used to play with them, i remember nailing them to a wooden machine-gun but having them back in the house before dad found out...lol

they are wood and have flat sides.
the .50 we use/used in the CAF has rounder grips and bakelite type of material IIRC. i don't remember the C5 grips because we mostly used the pistol grip back in the late 80`s

CGN truly is a special place.

Look like they’re off an M3 aircraft gun, I’m pretty sure those are what I had on mine.
