I had two cases made for some old 32 single actions. I have two of them where the collector value is essentially nil so I am going to have them refinished just not sure how. Looking for either ivory or pearl grips for them but the real thing not imitation

Hi There,
I like your boxes! Really neat looking. You may want to consider other
materials for the grips; Like: Rosewood, Ebony, Buffalo horn, etc.
Cheers!

I think the 1 1/2's are an overlooked little gem. The first time I shot one I was amazed how accurate they are and just fit into the palm of your hand. Your boxes are dynamite. I had a few in shadow boxes.

Ivory will be all but impossible to get as it can no longer be legally sold in the U.S. (and many other parts of the world) due to recent regulations they put in place, I believe around 10 years ago or so.
However, the handles for the .32 frames really aren't that big or thick, and a lot of the companies that sell exotic knife handle materials for scales probably sell something else you could use that could approximate ivory, such as smooth bleached white bone. Pearl grip material might be possible, but it won't be cheap. Check out Jantz Knife Making Supply online. They have everything from giraffe bone, stag, regular bone, simulated ivory, etc.
Beautiful work on the boxes, very classy.
