Lot's of good dialogue here, so I'll put in my 2 cents worth. I believe the matching magazine aspect much more valuable than matching grips, as I've never been able to come up a matching mag among the dozen or so I've on the lookout for the last 10 years.. On the other side of the coin I've purchased very nice E655 proofed grips from Tom Heller and Leon De Spain in the last year or so with out breaking the bank. Also, about 3 weeks ago I picked up a 80-85% blue byf 41 in the "q" block that is all matching with a matching magazine. It had black grips, that are not repros, but according to Frank Manders not correct for the "q" block, so I replaced them with E655 proofed wood grips. I paid a little over $800 for the byf, if that helps Captain Emo guage the market any better.
