See below for details.~~~~~two-PIECE (with SCREWHOLE) STYLETHIS AUCTION IS FOR OUR TWO-PIECE (SCREWHOLE) STYLE GRIPS. SEE BELOW.********ONE-PIECE VS. TWO-PIECE STYLE GRIPS:A Choice for Every User! Two-Piece style grips incorporate a visible screw and screwhole, allowing easy and quick removal for cleaning or maintenance of your revolver. One-piece style grips do not use a screw but instead use an internal spacer. Both styles are traditional and historical designs and both were originally used on early Colts, so it is a matter of personal preference. Both styles of our grips will interchange and work on either style of grip frame. See below.One-Piece style grips (i.e., grips which do not have a visible screwhole in the grips) incorporate a user installed spacer (included with the grips) between the grip panels, as seen on many of the early Colts. The spacer is sent unmounted to ensure optimum fit with your revolver, with simple, quick installation which takes about one minute or so per grip. Fully illustrated instructions are included. This results in a rock-tight fit, without the need of a screw. Preferred by many collectors for their clean lines and traditional look. One-Piece style grips are removed by removing the three backstrap screws, and pulling the grip and backstrap backwards. Reinstallation is in reverse order. Alternatively, our Two-Piece style grips (i.e., grips with a visible screw and screwhole) offer the superior convenience of quick grip removal. They include a free Conversion kit, allowing their use on revolvers that are currently using one-piece style grips that do not have a grip pin. The conversion kit replaces the need for a grip pin and is actually a stronger design, and allows the grips to lock up tight on the frame, allowing no movement. This requires no modification to your revolver and gives you the advantage of the ease of maintenance of Two-Piece grips, while preserving the integrity of your revolver in original factory condition. Two-Piece style grips were also used on many of the early Colts, and are a traditional and iconic historical design, offering a distinctive look and convenience preferred by many collectors.Fully illustrated, detailed instructions are included with each set of grips. 01042300~~~~~A Short History of the Hawes Western Marshal RevolversFrom the early 1950’s to the 1970’s, the Hollywood Western was the undisputed king of television and the silver screen. Television shows such as Gunsmoke, Bonanza, The Virginian, Rawhide, and Wagon Train, and many others too numerous to mention, were some of the most watched TV productions ever made. At the same time the Hollywood movie industry was also in full swing, releasing some of the most memorable Western genre movie productions in Hollywood history. Several enterprising firearms firms capitalized on the Single Action craze which arose largely due to the public’s fascination with the lore of the Old West, which to a very large degree continues unabated to this day.In the late 1960’s through the 1970’s, Hawes Firearms Inc., based in Los Angeles, California, imported and marketed a popular series of Single Action Army style revolvers known as the Western Marshal series. These revolvers were manufactured in Germany by the J.P. Sauer & Sohn firm and imported primarily by Hawes. What these will fit:These grips WILL FIT the following Hawes “Western Marshal” series revolvers: ●Western Marshal;●Chief Marshal;●Federal Marshal;●Deputy Marshal;●Silver City Marshal;●Texas Marshal;●Montana Marshal; What these will NOT fit:Please note that these will NOT fit the Great Western Arms revolvers manufactured in the United States by the Great Western Arms Company of Los Angeles from 1954 to 1964. These will also NOT fit the Herters “Powermag” revolvers (also made by J.P. Sauer & Sohn) which incorporate a much taller gripframe.Also, these will NOT fit any other make of revolver, including any of the Italian replicas (such as Pietta, Uberti, and Armi San Marco), nor any of the Ruger or Colt manufactured revolvers. Please email if you have any questions, are unsure, or cannot find what you need.For an additional charge, custom fitting is an option. If interested, please contact us for further details. 01042300 Arizona Custom Grips Handcrafted on an individual Custom basis out of Magna-Tusk™, our solid, dense proprietary substrate which is formulated out of natural materials for an authentic look and feel, and which yields a finished product which is the ultimate rendition of the classic stag grips of the golden era of Westerns. Better materials and our proprietary pigmenting process yields a finished product better than the originals. These grips are milled from a solid slab and are not cast. This avoids the inclusions, air pockets, and most importantly the cheap "cast plastic" look found in the urethane and other imitation materials commonly available. Like natural grips, with use and handling over time they will form an authentic patina and will only improve with age. They look better, age better, and perform better. And perhaps best of all, these grips are made entirely in the U.S.A.! Gun prop and holster not included -- only the grips are for sale. Please note that the grips shown are a stock photo used for illustration purposes only. Your grips will be individually hand cut and appear similar to these. The "B-Western": These "B-Western" Style Custom grips are hand-carved one-at-a-time in recognition of one of America's most outstanding and lasting cultural achievements of the 20th century -- the "B-Western." Styled after the grips seen on the revolvers of classic Hollywood Westerns of the 1930's to the 1960's (the "golden era of Hollywood Westerns"), these grips were featured in numerous Western productions both on Television and on the Silver Screen. Gunsmoke, Bonanza, The Rifleman, Rawhide, The Virginian, and many others too numerous to mention, all took America back to a simpler time and place. Times have changed, but the lessons and values of that unforgettable period still have a place in the hearts of millions of Americans and many other Western fans throughout the world who appreciate the enduring contribution to our culture and society made by the unique and colorful characters of the Old West. 4.18.13 Arizona Custom Stag™ Grips: These grips are completely unique, custom, and one-of-a-kind. Each is hand cut, and no two are the same. You will not find another set like them on any gun at any Western event, guaranteed! Hand made in painstaking, exacting detail to authentic feel and dimensions. We strive for museum quality with every pair. Arizona Custom Stag™ looks, feels, and ages like the genuine product, with durability far exceeding Ivory (Ivory is a relatively fragile material, which often cracks under stress and age). Magna-Tusk™, our Premier Grade product used in these grips, is filled with natural materials, and works and polishes as well as looks like the real thing. It takes carving with superior detail and definition, and accurately captures that authentic, weathered, deep, dark chocolate brown/black color in the bark pattern sought after by stag collectors. With age, it develops a soft, mellow patina which makes it indistinguishable from the more expensive and fragile product. These grips are used in professional applications where only the best will do. We have supplied these grips to Hollywood and other locations that demand only the best in durability, design, and authenticity. We cut no corners, and make every grip with the intention of it being a grip which will last a lifetime. A fine revolver deserves a fine grip. If you have been looking for the ultimate B-Western grip, you won't be disappointed!! The durability and excellent aging characteristics of these grips are enhanced by our exclusive and permanent bonded pigment application process which, once cured, won't chip, crack, or peel like superficially applied paint products found on less expensive grips. Accept no substitutes. Arizona Custom Stag™ adds a touch of class and realism which is completely lost by using lesser quality "cast plastic" imitations available elsewhere. Grip screws included with all grips. As with all Single Action grips, minor fitting may be, but is not usually, required due to small variations in grip frames. Full instructions included with all grips. The distinctive qualities and authentic presentation of Arizona Custom Stag™ offers an authentic look, heft and feel which invoke the aura and spirit of the Old West. Guaranteed to please even the most discriminating collector and Western memorabilia aficionado. Full money back, less shipping, if not fully satisfied! If returning, please note that the product must be returned in original, unaltered condition. Remember, above all: Ride Hard, Shoot Straight, and Speak the Truth! Happy Trails!!
