 Brass or silver? Plain or engraved and fancy?
Nobody is always correct, Not even me.

Muzzleloader Building Supply has them in brass, steel, and German silver. I have used two of these castings of the French dragoon pistol type on two different pistols, and they work well. A challenge to inlet, though! They need a retention cap to hold them in place, and MBS also has these in plain smooth design and with a grotesque mask. MBS also sells complete parts for the French dragoon pistol, including precarved stocks. I don't think they have drawings, though. Here's their website:
