Just some prototypes. Logo is supposed to be same size as the factory medallion.
Does the logo on the grip need to be bigger? If so how much bigger? Comments welcome.
Two circled Prototypes coming next month. Other two are errors on the checkering not being centered.
Expected production in June 2024? Method of ordering is TBD.

Personally I think it needs to be a tad larger since there’s so much intricate detail in the logo. All those olive leaves and the “50th” would be a little easier to read too. Maybe 15-20% larger? Just my 2-cents. After having said that, I’d buy them as is so not a deal breaker for me.

Update:
After six weeks, I checked in with our Bangkok Dan Wesson Grip maker. English is like his 3rd or 4th language so it's pretty basic.
Here's his response: "Now I don't have hardwood and in Thailand raining cats and dogs. Nobody go to find hardwood. About the larger 18mm DW50th logos. I will try to made them when I have hardwood. I think around one month hardwood arrival. About Large Frame Dan Wesson grips, I can't made them. My staff need frame of the gun Large Frame Dan Wesson grips. But in the gun Dan Wesson not import to Thailand. When I have hardwood let you know. Keep in touch. Have a nice day. Thank you so much my friend."
Now I never think much about life in countries I have never been to. But, here's how my brain processes this: It's Monsoon Season. Too wet to send people into the forest to harvest a Rosewood trees. I would guess between harvesting, the dry kiln process, production, and shipping, I am looking at 3 months before the new larger logo grips will be ready?
***Notes:
If anybody has connections to a "gun-buster" companies that chop-up guns for LE entities, I need the grip tang end of a Large frame . By the time they put the other pats for sale online, the grip -end has been destroyed. The quote to 3-D print that half of the Large Frame is a little steep, but the issue that I am having is leaving one of my Big Dans there for weeks....month until he gets around to it. An actual frame piece to send would be better because of the screw hole means less trial-and-error.
ALSO: I am sending him the Ruger 75th Anniversary Diamond logo decal for a custom grip for my new 75th year Ruger.....(Not an R75 ser#). If anyone has any interest in this, let me know? Again, likely 3+ months down the road to see it on a grip.
