I've been experimenting with some pieces of mammoth ivory with good success. I made a pair of dark color I frames that turned out great. Now I'm ready to try using a couple pieces with some value. I've got a couple very nice pure light colored slabs that are just big enough for square butts for either K frame Magnas or N frame service. (not quite big enough for N frame magnas )
My question is, which frame size should I use them for? I've got plenty of revolvers that would look great with either. Any opinions? I've also got grip medallions in pre-war deep dish gold, large silver, or modern small. Which type should I use?

Thanks as always.
Chris

Chris...JMHO, of course, but N-frame service grips would be very cool. I do have a pair of walrus ivory K-frame magnas, and they are really nice, but N-frame pieces would be neat! I've got a nickel triple-lock that would really look nice with ivories! (Hint...Hint!)
