He described making it in this thread:

Yea!Hoof your work is awesome! And that AK photo is ridiculous, had to share it with a friend
Curious, I don't have the money right now at all (Holidays), but someday when i do have the $$, would you 'snubberize' a 1847 Walker for me? Also contemplating having you snubberize a '51... (now I want a snub version of every cap n ball there is!)
Very very cool stuff here good sir
what you have shown is parts for the "cattleman" thunderer. The cattleman is a Uberti model. When looking on VTI I looked for Pietta parts. I am thinking that Uberti would not be a good fit for Pietta but the fact that Pietta sells the thunderer style grip fitted to the 1860 frame would seem to indicate that the fit is possible. I can't see Pietta making two separate thunderer style grips. This is also backed up by older posts I have found in my searches for this possible combination. I am thinking that it is entirely possible that the Cattleman thunderer grip would fit the Uberti 1860 frame as well. The proof is in the pudding as they say. I have a Uberti Cattleman Hombre. I believe that the Taylor parts would fit that revolver. When funds are available I may just buy that grip and then get a Uberti 1860 and see how the fit works out. The overall cost would be higher if using the Uberti parts in spite of the reduced cost for the Taylor parts. The revolver cost would seem to make up for any savings you might get. I am going to check the price difference between Taylors and VTI on the Uberti parts, VTI carries both Pietta and Uberti parts.for those like myself looking for the thunderer grips/gripframes, i found this place that has a little cheaper offerings than VTI right now anyone know if the cattleman parts (its a SAA 1873 style i believe) fit on C&B repros?

yeah, what he said.Guys.......the Uberti frames, be it a 1851 Navy or a 1861 Army or 1861 Navy will all interchange grips. The same applies to Pietta but NOT PIETTA to UBERTI. Sometimes there are slight overhangs when changing (the trigger guard or the peaks above the "wine glass" portion of the grip frame) from pistol to pistol. Bascially the 1873 cartridge types will also interchange as long as you stay with the same manufacturer.
