For correct genuine factory late 70's series grips you're probably going to have to shop Ebay and the online gun auctions and hope you get what you need. Note that many sellers don't know or care if what you think you're buying is what they're actually selling.

I would also look at gunsmiths in your area that have been in business for some time if any. Also gunshows of course. That way you get to look the person in the eye who wants $100 for the grips, and get to look at the grips before you buy.
