Sig has used several suppliers for grips over the years; SSI, Hogue, Nill-Griffe and Altamont to name a few. Morini even for "Swiss Police" style grips.
That style looks like Altamont to me but guess there's no way to be certain since they unlike others don't always mark their OEM offerings.

Walthers, yes, I bought a P88C from Doc. Also, the K-Kote P225 that appears on our home page and in the header on every page of the forum, I bought from Doc Avery, bought it at the same time I bought the P88C. That was a great day.

It's fuzzy, being so long ago, but as I recall, there had been two burglaries or attempted burglaries of the store. The owner decided he'd had enough. He slept nights in his office for a couple of weeks, then, here they come again. He got down behind his desk, and when these three guys came into his office, he stood up and capped all three with an Ithaca Roadblocker. For the uninitiated, that is a semi-auto 10 gauge shotgun.
He killed two of them on the spot, and the third one, well...
I'm at this party in Atlanta in 1989 and I'm telling this story to a few people, one of them being the roommate of a good friend of mine, and he stops me and says "Yeah, I was there."
"You were there," I said skeptically, and he tells me, no, really, he was there. He was going to school in Houston at the time, and I guess there were some apartments there at the corner of Richmond and Fondren, or very close by, and he says he's in bed late one night and he hears thupthupthupthupthupthupthup.... He looks out his window and there's a helicopter landing in the intersection. It was Life Flight, taking the remaining buckshot-riddled survivor to the hospital. I can't recall, but I don't think he made it.

Wasn't there a company named Sile that supplied SIG grips at one time too?
