Are you referring to grips like these?

The tea staining has been around as long as Ivory grips have been made, some just couldn't wait... No AM Medallion.Have put SV headstamped 44 Mag cases in several tho...

Brian, those look like it. The yellow Micartas improve any gun's appearance drastically, be it highly polished presentation piece or plain "field grade".
Curmudgeon, the medallion I was thinking of is the traditional AM red, white and black design like the image shown on Ian's post above. It would go good with the colors you selected, but I don't know if you'd want to go there, or if someone owns the commercial rights to that image. Seems I once heard or read a comment to that effect, but can't recall for sure. I could understand how trying to create it - in enameled metal for instance - could be a challenge.
FWIW, the yellow grips I saw were many yrs ago on a presentation boxed Pasadena 44 (not engraved) with extra 357 barrel and reloading equipment that was up for sale locally. The ask at the time was $2K.

Harry gave me permission to use the AM logo on the first Zippo lighters. Never thought about the use of AM logo or image as stock inlays...Once had SV enameled lapel pins....No big deal to have it done with the AM logo, just doubted if enough could be sold to justify the expense. I would ask Walter if he had any objection, as a matter of formality..

As far as getting permissions goes, I wouldn't forget Hi Standard. I remember reading here that they have the rights to the AutoMag. You have to figure that includes any trademarks. So if I was selling grips with that logo I would cover my bases on it and get their written permission along with whoever else might have an interest.
Speaking of HS AMs, I've been thinking about buying one of their AMIIIs. It would be an interesting novelty and probably fun to shoot. If it sells well it might encouarge other AMs to be built.

I think that HS only has rights to the "other" AutoMag pistols (Automag ll and lll and so forth)and not to the original 44 Auto Mag. I think that Walter and his mother still hold the rights to it. He gave me permission to use the logo a while ago for some lighters and the laser etching on some of the AM cases that I had.

"This is the 44 Magnum Auto Mag and holds a 300 grain cartridge and if properly used it can remove the fingerprints"!!!

Since I have NO plans for any AM logo use, its not a problem with me.

Hummm,,,, Seen more broken Eagle grips than good ones, my experience is not good with them. Now the Micarta seems virtually unbreakable! I have 2 sets and one has seen some real rough use (many heavy loads) and they look perfect.
