  These are for a BlackHawk .44 and a Bird’sHead New Vaquero. Needed a change from the factory grips. |

those look nice... are the bottom ones wood or plastic They are made from this: About our exclusive Magna-Tusk™ “Hi-Grade” Ivory Grips: Magna-Tusk™ Ivory grips, an exclusive of Arizona Custom Grips, are manufactured out of a super high-grade, ultra-high density Ivory material developed exclusively for our premium grip production. Vastly superior to standard bonded ivory found on factory and other aftermarket Ivory grips, Magna-Tusk™ is capable of withstanding the heaviest recoil and impact, and is the toughest alternative ivory material available today, while still retaining the pristine look of real ivory. It is completely rock-solid, stable, and water, chemical, and oil resistant. It is flame and heat resistant, and is entirely void-free, with over 10x the strength, durability, and impact resistance of alternative materials. Unlike with real ivory, there is no routine care and maintenance involved, with no danger of it drying out and cracking if not maintained properly or if left in the heat. It is filled with premium natural and synthetic compounds to produce outstanding aesthetic properties and mechanical performance. When aged with our exclusive aging process, it takes on the equivalent of a 100-year-old patina, with subtle grain details which many experts cannot tell apart from the real thing. In addition, the material has a fine grain structure, which holds intricate detail for carvings, imitation stag, etc., found on many historic grips. About Our Aging Process: These grips are specially made to have a genuine, antique patina found on many historic guns. These grips feature authentic color mottling, variegation, and subtle wear marks as seen on many of the revolvers which belonged to gunfighters and lawmen of the Old West. |

These grips from this ebay seller generally all come from Altamont. Altamont sells grips on their company site at a very decent price to the public, this ebay seller buys them and marks them up $30 or $40 to sell them on ebay. Sometimes he colors them yellow, sometimes he puts medallions on them, but they are almost all Altamont grips, certainly his line of Ruger grips in red wood composite or bonded ivory.
So you can probably feel safe in assuming good fit. But 'Magna Tusk' is a load.

I purchased a set of black checkered Super Blackhawk grips from that eBay seller last month. The grips were really nice and seemed like they were of very good quality and finish, don't know if they were from Altamont though. They wound up being too small for the Brass BNH Square trigger grip frame I wanted to use them on. The seller gladly let me return them and refunded my money, I was sad to have to return them though. they were really really nice. I'll have to have some tartaric of buffalo grips made up custom I guess.  |
