Good SOurce for Wood Grip Replacement?

I am wondering if there are good, better and best sources for wood grips that you all can recommend? I would also be interested in some black plastic grips too.

I have a couple pair of refurbished & repaired original wood & a pair of 1960's good fitting repros (they are the Italian made ones with the smooth border) Can furnish pics email is: hhclark@wildblue.net

VA man, To answer your question I would rate new replacement wood PO8 grips as follows: Good - the Sarco course checked ones made in India. Better - the Italian made ones, which have a centering hole (for checkering) on the inside of both side. These are not tapered down to the grip straps, so appear a bit thick. Unfortunately, have not been imported for many years now. Best - German made NILL grips, which usually have some dark verticle grain and cost over $100 plus shipping from Germany. Tom
