I don't know about mammoth ivory, but I will say the stocks you have on your 44 Magnums look very, very good.

Grashorn Gunworks "no bark" elk grips.... what I ended up putting on my Registered Magnum... that came with some 1980s grips

I believe Rogers grips has an assortment of mammoth ivory

Not certain they have N frame in stock but worth a look

Roger's Guns has a couple of sets.

When talking to Grashorn he reminded me that the "pre-war" N-grip frame was longer [or was it shorter] than post war guns.

For $1,000 or even $350 you want to get it right!!!

A big kicker is he said target grips.
I'd hate to think what those would cost.

I second what Paul says here! There are a few members here with really nice Target elephant ivory grips. I don’t believe I have ever seen a pair of Target Mammoth ivory grips. Those take a big chunk of ivory, and I would suspect it may cost in the $2500 range.

Boone Trading Company might be able to do them, but as pointed out above they'll be pricey. Even their 1911 panels are in the $600 range for mammoth.

The Relic Room Sevierville TN.
I have bought wooly mammoth ivory for knife handles from them.

Thinking the same here Larry,
Finding fossilized ivory that large could be pretty hard to find. It would also have to be pretty think for targets.

There is some nice ivory targets out there if you look enough.

I got lucky and found a set walking a gun show.

I think I paid $1.5K for these - and that was before Keith Brown worked his magic on them with some reshaping and some checkering.

I'm not sure that I've seen mammoth large enough for target stocks for sale... And then you have to find someone willing and able to work it...

I was fixing to say Boone Trading, also.

Paul Persinger in Texas might possibly have a source for the ivory.
He is a consummate artist of grips.
Good luck on your quest.

Reeder Custom Guns in Flagstaff AZ makes beautiful grips for their custom guns. I don’t know if they sell grips separately.

Best grips:

Nutmeg was a major producer of ivory grips, til ivory was banned. So they now use other materials, but still make what I think are the best.

You’re right about that! Unfortunately, I didn’t find that out until right before they stopped making them. There were guys on the Colt Forum that had some of the “drool worthiest” carved SAA ivory grips that I ever saw!

Carved ivory grips from Nutmeg Sports for an engraved Ruger New Model 50th Anniversary 44 Magnum (2006). Their work with giraffe bone is also superior.

Bill those are beautiful, the carving really allows the space to play into the design. And the fine polish makes the Schreger lines to pop.

Are you talking about elephant ivory? It's unethical and illegal to purchase
