I thought post war and pre war K Frame RB where the same dimensions?

My one and only Gun with Ivory and likely my only one at the prices. This is the case of a very lucky blind hog finding a acorn.

"Anyone like ivory grips?"

I always liked the way ivory stocks looked. I recently found these in Winchester Virginia. They are a perfect fit for my nickel 36 no dash.

...I sure liked the way it looked with the ivories!

Bill:

I love those K-Frame Ivories!!!

... And yes...I host a few sets in my collection:

 

[Inusuit]

They are beautiful but not very practical for EDC IMHO.

Why not? I have always wanted a pistol with ivory grips and finally bought a set for my Colt 1970 reissue. I'm always willing to be educated.

I don't like them at all ... but had to do something when the walnut stocks on my K-22 wore out!

Got a couple (have been seen before): Baby Chief wearing Elephant & Pre-war 38/44/King Outdoorsman wearing fossil walrus.

I use em too.......They're as tough as a billiard ball


I carved these back in the last century from an old black and white photograph,
to a likeness of one of my father's prize shorthorn bulls from years ago...

I've been working on ivory for 35 years. Here are some ivory stocked handguns.

This is a Peregrine falcon I scrimshawed on an ivory 1911 stock back in 1995.

Some amazing stuff on this thread.
Had a few minutes so I got out the camera. Had not taken a pic of the last 2 acquisitions so here is the whole group.
Left to right...M19-4, M27-2, M13-3(with their hides) and Cujo the cane.


I kind of chuckle when I see people say you can't carry ivory stocks. What do you think the elephants do?

For what it's worth, California ignores Federal Law or International Agreements, and has had a law on the books for years that says you may not sell anything Ivory. Period. No exemptions for age, value, or otherwise. The law was not really enforced until about 5 yrs. ago when the Powers That Be ( Liberal Tree Huggers Bureaucrats ) decided to instruct the State Fish & Game Wardens to attend antique shows, gun shows, etc. and confiscate and destroy any ivory items that had a For Sale sign on them, whether it was a gun with ivory grips, carved Chines Dragons from the Ming Dynasty, etc. There was no exemption for age, or otherwise. Antique dealers took a big hit until a loop hole was discovered, which was that you could posses or give away the ivory, you just couldn't sell it. Ivory stocked guns at gun shows, or auctions, soon had a tag on them that said " The Ivory grips were not for sale, however if you bought the gun, the seller would make you a free gift of the ivory grips. Ed.

This blued Colt Official Police from 1937 was carried for over 20 years by NYPD Officer Charley Williams (Shield # 7627). It was nickeled and dressed up w/ the ivories as a retirement gift.I bought it from an estate & have the original wood stocks also.





Best,

I would really love to have ivory stocks put on my Colt New Frontier .44 Special and a large set of ivory target stocks for my Class A engraved Model 29-2. Could anyone steer me to quality, legit sources? I realize this will be spendy, but I aren't buying many guns any more and would like to enhance a couple of my favorites.

I like ivory:

 

[JohnRippert]

Those grips with a black Tyler T-grip would be sweet.

Tough but pretty at the same time.
