Historical Colt Grips Question

Hey all,
I have one of these revolvers:
http://www.cabelas.com/product/Shooting/Black-Powder/Revolvers%7C/pc/104792580/c/104701680/sc/104503680/Pietta-Model-1851-Navy-36-Caliber-Revolver/705539.uts?destination=%2Fcatalog%2Fbrowse%2Fshooting-black-powder-revolvers%2F_%2FN-1100201%2FNs-CATEGORY_SEQ_104503680%3FWTz_l%3DSBC%253Bcat104792580%253Bcat104701680&WTz_l=SBC%3Bcat104792580%3Bcat104701680%3Bcat104503680
And to say that these grips look like the south end of a north bound mule is being kind. In all my viewings of real 1851 colts, I have yet to see on that had grips with the screw/etucheon set up. I have some rosewood laying around from an old flooring project and have seriously thought about making my own. Would solid grips be more historically accurate?

Yes.
One-piece grips were the norm during the era - fitted 'close', as an extension of the frame.
Vaya,
