Stag revolver grips - pic + question!

[shanewomer]

I recently won a couple of real stag grips for my S&W revolvers on eBay. Here is pic of one pair on an N-frame .44 mag.

Both pairs of grips I won are missing a little silver moon shaped piece of metal on one side. See pics below. I can see the mark where it used to be. How important is that piece? Can I use the grips without it? Where could I get one to replace it?

Nice grips

You can pour lead or pewter in there and file it to fit. That's how a blackpowder gunsmith would remedy it.
