I have not seen or heard of any. It's not really a popular grip material because, like bakelite, they are a little susceptible to breaking, and they'd be expensive.

A far superior material is Tru Ivory, the best substitute ivory on the market, in the 'ultra antiqued' color choice. Click on the 02:

Yeah, great thread. I enjoyed reading the link that was posted also.
I always liked the fact that Mr Wayne used a more practical & realistic high-riding style holster in his films, rather than the typical Hollywood gunslinger holster tied-down to the leg about halfway to the knee. I've seen The Shootist many times,yet never noticed that he wore a different holster in that one.
