A Short History of the
Hawes Western Marshal Revolvers
From 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.

These grips WILL FIT the following Hawes
“Western Marshal” series revolvers:
●Western 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

& Sohn) which incorporate a much taller gripframe.

About our exclusive Magna-Tusk™ “Hi-Grade”
Ivory and Stag Grips:
Magna-Tusk™ Ivory and Stag grips, an
exclusive of Arizona Custom Grips, are manufactured out of our
super high-grade, ultra-high density material developed exclusively for our
premium grip production. Vastly superior to standard bonded ivory or
stag found on factory and other aftermarket grips, Magna-Tusk™ is capable of
withstanding the heaviest recoil and impact, and is the toughest alternative grip
material available today, while still retaining the pristine look of real ivory
or stag. 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 or stag, 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, artistic relief work, etc., found on many
historic grips.
About Our Aging Process:
Unlike
the lightweight artificial yellow plastic materials sometimes offered for sale,
Magna-Tusk aged grips start out as a solid block of white virgin Magna-Tusk
Ivory. Grip blanks are then milled from
this premium material, incorporating both CNC techniques for blanking and
finishing techniques similar to those used in manufacturing the originals. They are then carefully aged with our
exclusive aging process, incorporating concentrated UV light (the essential
aging property in natural sunlight).
Our process produces an authentic appearance and genuine patina
which extends into the surface, just like real ivory or stag. Not only does this
give it the appearance of authenticity and depth, but this surface will not
chip, crack, or peel like a superficially applied coating. Accept no substitutes. With Magna-Tusk aged grips, most experts cannot tell them apart
from a decades-old or even a centuries-old original. While the quality difference is somewhat
noticeable in the photos, the difference is even more apparent when seen and
handled in person. Many of our repeat
sales are made by the very customers we sell to, who take their custom-stocked
revolvers to the range or club, where the quality difference is immediately
seen and appreciated by fellow shooters.
Magna-Tusk grips have all the authenticity of the originals, with
several improvements over original materials including increased durability,
and are made to last a lifetime. They
feature subtle but authentic color mottling, grain variegation, and other
authentic minute details found on original old Ivory and aged Stag, as seen on
many of the revolvers which belonged to gunfighters and lawmen of the Old
West. Dense, heavy, and solid, Magna-Tusk grips are in a class all their
own. With our exclusive aging process, these grips
are outstanding right out of the box, and will continue to improve over
time. The more these grips are handled
and used, the better they look!
