I picked these up in Somalia years ago. I saw the biggest tusks I've ever seen in a ratty hotel lobby there, they were at least 6' tall double curved beautiful! God knows where they are now after all the fighting over there.

All fabulous Gentlemen!

I currently only have one N frame so she'll have to model this set too -

This one was done by Sol Wisenfeild "Gunart" of Lakewood, New Jersey - Does anyone own anything by him?




That's my girlfriend's Conure "Cookie" - He loves it too!









 
Not a smith, a Hi-Standard HDM with a bloody history. My boss was a deputy in colorado. A filling station attendent was killed and he/they? were near by and hot on it. They caught the perp but no gun. Later frank checked the roof of the station and found the gun. After the trial the judge gave frank the gun. I traded him out of it. Later I found the old used ivorys at a high end gun shop in southern california. (The old pony express). Think I paid about $60s for them in the early 70s.
I love the carving. A crouching mountain lion on a limb on the left grip and a flying goose on the right. I think the carving is flawless.
