Keep an eye out for correct vintage factory grips in the WTS forum here. Members here seem to offer pretty decent deals.
What would the correct grips look like? I'm guessing this is what is called an N-frame? The Pachmayr grips are the only ones I have for it. I took them off, cleaned underneath, and saw zero rust or moisture. There was old dried/gummy oil residue.
