CZ 83 Walnut Grips???

[Dos]

These seem to be the only option for CZ 83.  They seem to be available only from CZ USA for 54 bucks too!  I hate the look of the stock plastic ones.  I'm aware of the splitting problems of the Walnut Grips from CZ USA as posted by Arcom.  But Walnut,  rubber, or anything else would be easier to look at when I'm not shootin.  Could always put the plastic back on to take to the range.    Anyone got a pic of the Walnut ones installed?

I e-mailed a man by the name of John saying that he had made some grips before for a CZ-83.  He did say that he could do it again, If the person would send the original grips to him so that he could clone them, the  Price would be $40 for Walnut, higher if you wanted something exotic. You get a $10 discount If he gets to keep the original grips.
