Seeking Photograph of S&W M-21[ [4 ] Thunder Ranch or Similar, with '1/2' Type Grips

Hello Folks, I've been looking at a pair of Grips to install on my late production S&W M-21 [ - 4 ] "Thunder Ranch" Edition [ 4", N Frame, Rd Butt, .44 Special ]. The examples I'm thinking about are of an very realistic appearing 'imitation Stag', & are cut as were the older style S&W Grips, circa pre WW2 era. [ Type that doesn't rise above the actual Grip portion onto the side plate. ] What I'm looking for is an Photograph of such Grips, and or something similar, being 'worn' on an N Frame S&W Revolver ? Below I have added both Obverse & Reverse Scans of the Grips I'm thinking about. They appear to be of Altamont mfg.
If anyone here just happens to posses such a Revolver, or would be so kind as to point me to a Photograph of such, I'll be most appreciative ! THANK YOU, yet again !!

Best, dpast32

Here are some wooden ones. Believe these to be Altamont, but I don't think they make them anymore...

Here are a couple of service style grips. The first is factory, mounted on a Model 1917 and a the second is made by Sile and shown on a Model 22-4

Service Grips

Here are a couple of pictures of my 1930 Heavy Duty with a set of plastic service grips installed. My gun is a square-butt, but maybe it will give you an idea what your gun might look like.

THANK YOU Lorin, very much ! Yes, the real only difference would be between Square & Round Butt. I'm still not sure exactly why the 'old style' Stag Grips even appeal to me, maybe it's because I grew up reading all the old American Rifleman issues, & seeing articles about the the early big bore Revolvers they used back then. I am however fairly certain that my 4" Model 21 will look quite nice when wearing those Grips. I guess it all boils down to whether I want to pay $50 to make it look so nice, as that's what the Grips will run me ? And, just for the record, that's a very nice H.D. !! THANKS AGAIN
