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

Arizona Custom Grips

About Magna-Tusk™ Ivory
and Stag Grips:

 Magna-Tusk™ Ivory and Stag grips, a
product of Arizona Custom Grips, are manufactured out of our
high-grade, high density ivory material designed from the beginning as a premium,
high-strength grip material.  Vastly
superior to standard bonded ivory or stag found on most 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
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 compounds to
produce outstanding aesthetic properties and mechanical
performance.  When aged with our natural 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.
