Well I finally got around to emptying the Stag Grip box and mounted them on the inside of one of my safe doors. Thought you might enjoy seeing the many different styles of "bark" and color.

Nice selection, and one can see in a glance the different 'eras', as well as the medallion locations that come up all of the time....................
Stag be stag, and yes, a LOT of 'value" is there...........reminds me of the time, lee and I were stiing at a show comparing all the ones he too had accumulated over the years and we were 'measuring the differences" and the 'radical One came by the table and I swear he got down on his knee and we saw tears in his eyes!!!! TRUE story!!!! (ok maybe it was drool....) 8)

...on this Lenten Friday, me thinks I'll go to Mass and do the Stations, as I've just seen it all...
I've lurked here for about 8 years until finally joining recently, and I've read many threads on "Real v. Fake"...Gosh, I hope nobody starts that here with this beee-you-tiful pic of Mr. JussBad's.
This presentation is awesome, but I will say I was just as awestruck seeing the photo of all of them PILED in that box...

Jussbad picked up that Idea from Ralph in Tulsa a few years Back! Old Ralph has a BOX FULL & by the looks of this thread Jussbad does too....Pretty Eye Candy.....

Top row, #2 and #4. Should start a poll. I get to keep the one with the most votes - that's fair isn't it?
Really great, Gary! Looks like three suppliers/generations of supply to me, as we discussed long ago, and on this forum. 8) Reminds me to gather all of mine and put them up in one place. 8)

In case of some potential natural or man-made disater I feel quite strongly that all of the various members stag grips shoud be stored in different parts of the country, and also given safe haven with your friendly neighbor to the north. I have very secure facilities here on the West Coast and hereby volunteer to do my part in preserving the history of several generations of said grips.

I recalled that pic of the box full, and like many folks "I wondered." Well, Gary has ended all the wonder with an amazing "WOW" factor. Truly impressive.

I'm no expert, but since many of you on this thread are knowledgeable, I'd like to authenticate the stag grips found on a recently purchased .44 flattop, probably made about April of 1957. Here's the gun and more detailed pics of the grips. I'd appreciate any opinions, and estimates on the possible value of the grips. Thanks!

In the past 15+ years, I've seen more Factory stags than the Factory ever made. I'm not talking about seeing some of the same ones again. Think about that for awhile.

Can you tell the rest of us how many of the factory stags were made and how you came by that information?

My understanding from Dougan's book when I read that page is that there were about 6,700 shipped by the third vendor. Second vendor quantity iunknown, first vendor about 50 pairs.

Man.... You guys are really making me want a set of stags.
Paladin, those look to me like a pair of the very early ones, old stag material, seen on the Blackhawks and the medallions just a bit out of kilter,BUT not the early type seen on some of the first Single Sixes and had the satin eagle medallions, and were set back further........the odd staking is typical of the ones when they tried NOT to "break them" as often happened ,but again like often said just ones opinion, ask 10 people and you'll get 10 different answers, I DO SAY base a LOT of it on the cost...if the price is 'right' so what , good deal,,,if you are being asked to spend the $$$$(mint) on them, be picky and they better be "perfect" ( I would add to know the seller, BUT this has prooved difficult over the years as even some of the "experts' have been fooled...)
and YES I totally agree with Donnie, there are FAR MORE stags and ivory grips out there today , than the factory ever sold on their own, back then , in that relatively short window of time.....LOTS and LOTS of aftermarket folks sold them for much longer, and the medallions were added later, caveat emptor baby,if you are putting out the LARGE $$$$$$.......... 8)
