Really nice but can't justify that price.

Maybe he can justify it, but any grip over $250 to $300 seems a little over the top…. maybe justified for an heirloom museum piece, not a gun that is being used.
Ivory grips are in that price category and above depending on the grain.
While I have Ivory on several firearms, few get carried and only two get shot with any regularity
With the damage that President Obama did to the Ivory market, I have just bought some grips made from Woolly Mammath tusk (Thousands of Years Old) for the new 1911 I am working on. They were about half the price of what plain Ivory would have cost me

I would want to see their fit on a gun first. But my oh my !!! .... If they are a well executed fit, I could justify that $. Being copies of the K/L round combat factory style notch it up double for me ! They are the moment Marilyn walks into the cocktail party when all the conversation stops and everyone stares at her as she smiles and walks over to the piano !!

I whole-heartedly agree. If I knew they would fit right on my 66-1 snubbie, I'd buy them. They are absolutely stunning!I would want to see their fit on a gun first. But my oh my !!! ....

Go to Rogersgunsandgrips website. There will be several photos on a gun that will be a good indication of fit. And go from there. I’ve bought from Jim in the past and have not been disappointed. Best of luck.

I have bought from Rogers as well and not been disappointed. I know that sounds like a lot but in a few years you will be happy you have them. They wont be coming down in price.

I like nice grips as much as the next guy, but 900 is getting nuts. I bet that is plus shipping

Here I thought that I was in an elite group because I buy Culinas. Silly me!
Those look awesome, but... can't help wondering what @bigmntman could do with horns like that... (hint) 
That company is also selling fairly common replicas of S&W combat grips for $159, while the same product, most likely made in Thailand, sells for half that price. I bought a pair of plain walnut RB combats about 18 months ago, in part to see what they were like... they were indistinguishable from a similar set bought on ebay for ~$90. Even had the same cheap knockoff S&W medallions.
They also sell S&W factory target stocks for about double ebay prices... This does note mean I dislike the grips, I am just a bit wary of the seller.
For the person who bought the Culinas, you got a much nicer set for a few dollars more.
As far as Mamoth tusk goes... drool!

Hey Ben I’m pretty sure if you offered Jim his price shipped he’d take it. Haha. He only charges like $10 for shipping. If you need grips that are unusual or exotic Rogers will usually have it.
