Need correct handgrips for Colt OP mfg. 1965

Many years ago, I took the original handgrips off my 1965 Colt Official Police revolver and replaced them with Pachmyer presentation grips which are much better than the originals were for shooting. But these days I'd like to dress the old girl up like she used to look sometimes, but I can't find the original grips, so I need to buy a new set. Yes, I know the old ones will probably turn up as soon as I buy em, but.........whachagonnado? Anybody know where I can find an original Colt set in good to excellent condition? The gun is about 95% so I don't want grips that are too worn to match. Thanks in advance for any leads you may be able to give me.

You're probably going to have to walk the aisles at gun shows or hope someone puts up a nice set on one of the auction sites.
