Ivory Grips

waltermoe

where could i order custom ivory grips for a smith model 29. I would like a nice set but don't want to have to pay a fortune? As always thanks for your replies.

Is it possible to make new ivory grips look old? Papers that came with the grips say to rub the grips lightly with gun oil about onced a month to keep from scrinking and with handling this will yellow them. Any suggestions about aging? Thanks

I have an older Colt 45 automatic with real ivory grips, I'm sure they are elephant ivory, I was told the other day that federal law after June 26 2014 that it will be against the law to sell them or transport them or any thing else with ivory across STATE lines. Has any one else heard about this?

How can you tell genuine ivory besides looking at the grain?

How can you tell if Colt SAA ivory grips are factory? Do all factory ivory grips have medallions?

thanks
