1911A1 grip screws

Where can I get nickel plated grip screws. I am changing grips to Ajax White Pearlites and my originals (circa 1953) are worn. Still shoots great after all these years.Thanks.

Friggin' things are expensive. Four of 'em run $8.99 for SS Hex head grip screws from Brownell's.
Strike Industries wants $11.99 for 4 Torx chromed screws. You can really pimp it up with their gold plated screws. $12.99 per 4. snicker.
Oh, it was a 10 second net search.

None of the screws you provided are nickel-plated. I think the OP wants steel screws that have a similar finish to the rest of his 1911.

I would like something a little more traditional, thanks for your effort, hope the 10 seconds was ok for you. I'll try Brownells,Gun Parts, etc. and go from there just thought someone might have an idea and save the time of an online search. Thanks again.
