Default Who are those artists?

From time to time I happen to admire carved grips like those I've seen somewhere else on the web.

Is one of us able to inform me where to get some like those? Especially some with the late 19th early 20th century floral work on 'em?

Who are those artists?

Thank you for your help.

Thank you again for this answer.
Alas, it seems the website of Keith BROWN is out of order.
I would like to know if one of the members of this forum can give me some info on that?
Is there another way to contact this artist?

The most gorgeous grips I have ever seen are done by this man(Keith Brown),long wait period to get grips from him.But the best around in my book.

I believe the originals were made by Kearsarge.

The middle set look like Ropers. Keith Brown can replicate those.

Thank you Texas Star.
I think a set of those grips including the floral carving is the way to go ...

I will get one for one of my model 29.

I intend to get the set for a 4" model 29 shooting .44 sp loads mostly, up to "light" .44 magnum occasionally.

What do you think?
