Altamont grips. Mike B posted them on youtube some months ago.

Whatever you get will have to be fitted. There are no bolt on grips for Italian repros. They install the grips on the rough frame and finish them out together.

Forgot about those! Do they feel like wood or ivory in your hand?
BTW it wasn't Altamonte but some others which are listed in his youtube video.
