Hi,
I believe they are going for about $145 these days with medallions, or less if you want 'em "plain." The going rate when I got these a couple of years ago was less . . . just like S&W revolvers!
I'm getting ready to get another set soon . . . he just doesn't know it yet!
He usually runs a few sets every other week or so in the Classified Section that lists the gun accessories . . . complete with pictures of the sets he's got on the forum.
I believe that I got all mine though by simply emailing him and describing what I wanted mine to look like (using examples of "bark" in photos on his website as a reference point). He'd then select the antler and get to work on them. Within two days he generally had a photo to send me to get my feedback.
He's absolutely awesome to work with, and I usually have the set in my mailbox in about a week from the time I contact him in Colorado. Wow.
The background color can vary somewhat, as can the color of the bark, so there are a lot of options . . . including smooth with NO bark. You let him know what you want and he'll make exactly what you want.
In the end, you end up with a durable, beautiful set of American Elk stags that will be totally unique. The truly set the looks of a gun off I think . . . sort of like customizing a Harley.

PS: A GORGEOUS SET I DIDN'T BUY FOR THE 25-2 . . .
Here's a photo of the first set of stags Patrick made according to my requests for my M25-2. The color and the symmetry of the bark was incredible. However, the grips were on the large size for my small hands and this concerned both of us. I truly hated to pass this set up . . . but he then went to work on the set I display on the gun now.
I sent him measurements of my hand and he truly NAILED it! A perfect grip is so important to a shooter who shoots double action matches.
Here they both are, as a testament to his great work:
1. The set that got away . . .
2. The one I chose . . .
