Carved/Inlaid Stocks, mid-1950s
All stocks carved and inlaid (except one pair that is inlaid only) are by Alvin White and date to the mid-1950s. Wood types are rosewood, European walnut, Goncalo alves, and birds eye maple. The inlays are made of ivory with scrimshaw. Click on each photo for a closer look.

Those are absolutely gorgeous but I'd be afraid to put them on a revolver I intended to shoot.

I'd say the scarcity of these precludes my ever getting an opportunity to own any.
We can dream can't we.

This is another of those times when "Wow!" is just really inadequate.

Awesome X 10
Think how long it must have taken to carve those grips , by hand with small tools ...
Truly works of art.
And you can tell the difference from carving done by a machine and when done by hand.
