Bought these Elk stag grips on Ebay. Took a little filling to get them to go on. Unfortunately there is a place on the upper grip where too much was previously removed . But there are just a couple of places I'll have to sand to get flush with the grip frame.

Looks nice.

Those look very nice. Make your Colt look even better, if that’s possible. I like stag grips and Elk “stags” are almost affordable. 😁
Sambar stag grips have become the new ivory.
Recently got a set of Elk stags for my S&W 25-5. Really dresses it up. Put on a Tyler T-Grip since this picture was taken.

Spiffy shoes for a sixgun, can't beat that!!

That's a beauty.

Excellent!!

That's a beautiful S&W !

Nice six gun ! those look like sanbar stag.

Looks great.

Very nice! Really dresses that Colt. Not that it needed it.

Smith and Wesson 25-13 with Grashorn elk antler grips, brass Tyler T adapter, Purdy leather, Jawbone damascus skinner with elk antler handle. Excuse the quality of the picture, I took this picture off my computer monitor.

Thanks for the kind words from everyone. And I've enjoyed all the pics.

Now I just need to save up and send it back to Colt to switch out the barrel for a 4 3/4" one.

Very nice and a cool gun, too. 44 Special is always special.

I put a set of Sanbar Stag grips with S & W medallions on my 4" M/629 no dash, they're the envy of everyone who sees that revolver. Patrick Grasshorn makes some really fine elk stag grips, I've had several sets.

For the life of me, I can't see the allure of medallions. Baffles me why anyone would want those fugly, commemorative coin looking discs inlet into their nice stags or ivories.....Hell, for THAT matter, even on wood or plastic.

might as well engrave advertising billboards all over them, baby....

I intentionally bought a colt new frontier with walnut grips, instead of the more common black plasticy things most of them wear. I loved the wood, hated the frickin' bus tokens. So much so, I dumped the medallion grips for cheap, ebay fake ivories. At least now, I don't have to look at little coins.....








I even dumped the ruger chickhawk medallion panels for plain wood...

That's a beautiful 25-5, SS336.

Some great hardware there, hunts.

I feel the same.

My youngest brother gave me this holster over 20 years ago.

The only Sanbar I have is on a 1911.

I happen to like them on my Single-Six. To each his own.

Hunts, those “ivory” grips look really nice. I have a Colt New Frontier that could use a little dressing up. Who makes them?

My youngest brother gave me this holster about 20 years ago.

My only pair of Sambar stags are on a 1911. I've had them over 20 years. Paid 75$ for them.

Got them on ebay. seller is mazdaman4. He don't always have them in stock so message him for availability.

of course now all I seen was medallion ones....grin

This '48 Government Model belongs to my Mother. She inherited it from my Uncle. Pretty sure these are Sambars.

maybe this time it will work

Are those factory stag grips?

Those are beautiful.

Well here I go..... down a rabbit trail.... shopping for a couple pair of grips now
Thanks everyone. hahahaha
Really nice irons ya'll have there!!

Can't answer that as the gun was a hand-me-down from my Dad. He bought it new in the 1950s. I have the black grips, also.

Thanks.

I may put stags on my old Python.
Changed the sights to Kensight already.

Pics please if you do.

I like the looks of stag, but for me, too much bark doesn't look good.

I love stags!

Ivories too, but that's another topic...

Beautiful stag grips on display here.
1911a1’s grips on his '48 Government Model are really nice, that “mellow yellow” coloring of old samba stag is gorgeous.

Nice collection of stag !

What's the story on the 2 SAA ?

Great Pics rockinbar !

I like your brand on the holster. That's pretty neat getting the song dog with your pistola.

Cool photo Hman 22 !

What caliber is the SAA?

Thanks !
My uncle died in 1985 so I don't know any back ground on the pistol. He had another similar Newer vintage Colt (still pre 70 era) with stags but those grips had some sort of backing on them. It went to one of my other uncles.

jbmi's post reminded me of a knife I built from a kit in the mid 1990's that I put a Sambar stag handle on instead of the leather washers it came with. That piece of stag was cheap compared to what the stuff cost now.

Sambar stag handles on my old Randall and a Olsen custom knife.

Like ivory sanbar stag is embargoed therfor the lofty price tag. The sanbar stags I put on my S & W M/629 set me back $335.00, while a set of elk stags from Patrick Grasshorn can be had for a modest $165.00. Mr. Grasshorn makes some great grips and will craft a set with as much or as little bark as you prefer. Grips can be plain or with medallions whatever you like.

Patrick does great work. I like elk a lot. It’s just different than sambar stag.

Here is mine. Colt Single Action with genuine Sambar Stag grips. .357 Mag. caliber. Shoots very very well.



L.W.

My one and only set. A pawn shop find maybe 10 years ago, both gun and grips.

That may be the first Bearcat I've seen with stag grips.

Nice stuff guys!

Beautiful S&W and drop point. The drop point looks like it may have been used a little. Spec on the knife?

Aaaaand specs of gun? Nice S&W. M17? M14? what dash? Did you make the grips on the gun?

The blade and handle material came from knife kits.com. It is my hunting knife and has field dressed several deer now. Works great.

It is a 14-3. I bought the grips off an Internet forum. They look to me to be old, and they’ve shrunk a bit, but I thought they were pretty. I bought the revolver in the box in a gun show parking lot a few years ago for $300. Just missed a round butt 3” model 19 for the same price from the same seller.
