K frame grips

[lofton&1952]

A few years ago I purchased a model 19 combat 357 that is class A factory engraved, with a factory letter. At the time the gun had what I thought was white plastic grips only to find they were in fact elephant ivory. Problem is,other than being ivory, they are a completely nude women. I have replaced the grips with what the factory letter said it should have and somehow lost the ivory grips when I moved. I recently found the special place I had put them. Can somebody tell me if I can sell the grips . I can send a picture but not post it.

What Can I Do With My Ivory?

The ivory ban passed into law in 2016 makes it very difficult to sell elephant ivory. But generally, with a few state exceptions, you can legally sell ivory intrastate (within your own state borders). Interstate gets to be much more difficult.

I did read in the link above that it is legal to donate or gift ivory items. But that won't help your wallet any. Good luck.

You could sell them to me because I live in the same state as you.

I think I'd have those on display! Sounds like some mighty fine artwork!
