I like the combination of blue steel, stag and grip adapters.
Here is my newest, a Model 1950, 45 ACP, Target revolver, paired up with a second Model 1950, 45 ACP Target revolver.
Here are a couple of Model 25-2s.
I have several more.

Here is an old Model 1917 with an equally old set of Sambar service stocks and a funny looking grip adapter.

I love that look. I found these Stags sitting in one of my local Pawn Shops. They were a bit pricey, but they were made right. The last pair I had were kind of wonky.

There's just "something" about blued steel and stag (or bone) grips!
I guess it's like the "N" frame addiction! LOL!

Here's a Baby Chiefs wearing some period sambar stags.
I find that old sambar takes on a beautiful color with age and a bit of use.

Clarification of "Stag" vs "Antler"
I'm hoping that some of you Forum gurus will educate me on the proper use of the term "stag" when referring to stocks/grips. As I understand it, stag refers to any 4-legged male animal with antlers (family Cervidae), e.g. stag, various species of deer, moose, elk, caribou, and reindeer. Going to cocktail parties as a single male doesn't count! Back in the day, when someone referred to stag stocks, they almost always meant beautiful Sambar stag antlers from India. I have been corrected here on the Forum a couple of times for referring to my handgun stocks as elk stag stocks instead of elk antler stocks. But it seems to me that stag includes antlers from any type of deer, elk, caribou, reindeer, or moose, and perhaps ram's horns (although most horns are permanent and antlers are shed annually). Let's forget about horn, bone, and jigged bone stocks and stay focused on stag and antler. What's the popular consensus?

Some great examples of guns and grips. Gives a different meaning to stag party.

I agree with your definition. However, I tend to be specific when I mention the material, smooth elk, smooth caribou etc.

I didn’t buy them from him, but I bought them from who he buys his from. I liked them so much that I bought 2 pairs. I sold the other pair for an handsome profit. Unfortunately, it has been quite a while and I can’t remember who made them.:
