two-PIECE
(with SCREWHOLE) STYLE

THIS 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 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. 

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.

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.

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!!
