No, it was the Remington 51 that was given to him. His Colt Pocket Hammerless .380 was issued to him. Neither had pearl grips. As others have mentioned, Patton had an intense dislike of pearl. His small autos had the standard stocks with stars inlaid. He also wore a Colt Detective Special on occasion with the standard walnut stocks.
