Finding a single stock to match the style you like better is not an insurmountable task.
I am unsure at this point you can overpay for a solid Smith & Wesson revolver of the vintage you have. We will not see their like being manufactured again, so if you paid a little more than todays going rate, tomorrow it will seem a bargain. The enjoyment from owning such a fine sidearm far outweighs the cost.

Seems Ebay has a few sets for around $100. Some less some more.
The problem is: I'm not sure what today's going rate is for these, I just took a chance.
I look at it as an investment, as I do most of my gun purchases. Rather than my money sit in a safe, or worse - a bank, it sits in items that won't depreciate and that I love - guns.
I'll look more into it and see what I can do about the stocks.
