Griffon is made in South Africa

I tried a search for the Griffon and it was made by the now defunct Continental Weapons Ltd in South Africa.

First Defense aparently sold these pistols in the US. Contact them at [email protected]

The local shooting magazine in South Africa is called Man/Magnum and I suggest you e-mail them to see if a local reader can point you to a front sight:

There is other contact info on local gun clubs that may be able to help.

That's a pretty common problem with staked sights on 1911's. Best bet would be to have your gunsmith dovetail the front sight. This will require cutting into the side and most likely refinishing but it will solve that problem.
