Inspired by the recent discussion on grips, I have a new Pietta Frontier inbound.  This will be a blue CCH 7-1/2" in .45 Colt.  I very much want to dress it up with grips as similar as possible to those sported by Gunsmoke's Marshall Dillon. I went through several weeks of a similar effort a year or so back searching for that sort of grips to fit a 47 year old Ruger New Model Blackhawk, which ultimately failed. Nothing from anywhere fit even close enough to "fit" them to what I thought was a very common revolver.  Perhaps this one will be easier?

There are lots of grip makers out there. Google is your friend. 2 of the more well known elk stag grip makers are Grashorn Grips and Sack Peterson.

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

Jack, yeah I think that's what he's looking for. 

CB88, into your search engine type "jigged bone saa grips" and you will see lots like that, plus the link from Major 2 above.

I've been buying grips for several types of guns from Arizona Custom Grips and they fit very well but their stag style does not look like that.

Correct, that's why I didn't indicate I was searching for stag grips. I appreciate all the leads and I'll go from there.   Some of those leads were among those who couldn't match an unaltered Ruger NM Blackhawk.  Maybe a current production Pietta will be more successful.

Ah so! Guess I gave up too soon searching AZ Custom. If you like your grips thinner than usual (I  do) they can do that.  A little pricier than some but I  have 5 sets now of theirs.

I agree the Arizona stag is nice but they don't look like the old Fitz jigged bone.

The look good, so worth a shot, but that's also one of the outfits who couldn't furnish grips for a New Model Blackhawk.

This set doesn't fit your New Model Blackhawk?

That is correct.  In fact, neither of two they sent me fit either of two revolvers.  One a .45 from 1976, the other a .357 from 1977.  I returned them.
