Another thing to consider, younggun22 is you will probably never find the grips that were numbered to your gun. And finding period/model correct grips is one thing, but finding ones that fit well is another. Magnas were hand fitted to each frame, and in the day there were differences in those frames. Sooo, it's a **** shoot when it comes to finding the best wood for your gun. If you can have the gun and wood together before you buy you will be miles ahead. Otherwise, take your chances. You will probably find what you are looking for, but be ready for some level of disappointment along the way. BTW, what grips are on the gun now?

Oh yea. If you look at the "what gun do you regret selling" thread, mine was a 58 I bought in the early 70's from a buddy who had just sold his gun shop and the 58 was a personal piece that was like new. That should have been a keeper. I knew not.
