custom 1911 grips

I'm looking for some kind of horn grips for my Ed Brown bobtail. Anyone have any suggestions?

deleted, I should have read the question twice.

In addition to the wood that came with it, I have some VZ grips and some stag grips. Gives me the option of "for show", "carry" or serious shooting.

If you discover that "bobtailed" grips cost more than standard grips for some reason, it is very easy to cut the corner off yourself and polish up with some 600-1000 grit sandpaper.

As already stated, Esmeraldas. She will bobtail any 1911 grip that you choose.

Thanks for the replies. I have a couple sets of Esmerelda's but I thought she only worked with wood, not horn. Worth a call though. I may just take CWL's advice and try to cut and finish my own. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
