Default Pre-War K-22 Outdoorsman - mostly

I've been itching for a K-22 Outdoorsman and finally adopted one. From reading other posts, and comparing serial numbers, my K-22 Outdoorsman (649xxx) is late 1934 - early 1935. As can be seen from the pics, my Outdoorsman has the wrong grips Aside - I think my left and right grips are not even a matched set. The left one has a square shoulder and the right one a contoured shoulder. I believe the correct grips would be pre-war service grips with silver medallions. I would really like to return my Outdoorsman to its original appearance with some period correct S&W grips. I've looked but can't find any original or accurate reproductions on the internet. Any suggestions?
