Mine was made by Miroku. Uberti also made some. They show up on Gunbroker every now and then. Originals do as well. The Mirokus are .22LR, Ubertis 22 L and IIRC, the originals are .22 short and .32 rimfire. There are half dozen or so originals on GunBoker right now. One with no bids that might be had for under $500. Auction # 644292439

They might be pricey; but they are cheaper than a lot of the custom gripmakers out there and one hell of a lot cheaper than Ivory.

Not to mention legal!

American Holly looks like ivory. I thought that it was ivory on your revolvers Fingers.

 

[Fingers McGee]

Ivory is still legal. Just has to be documented as being obtained prior to a certain date & I can't remember what that date is.

I've heard that some conservation agents have been a little overzealous in applying the law by confiscating everything whether legal or not.

These are American Holly grips made by Private's Custom Grips on my Ruger Flattop Blackhawk. Unfortunately he's decided to take a break from grip making so no new orders there. Classic Single Action makes grips from American Holly and Satinwood and could probably make a grip for a black powder revolver but due to having shoulder surgery the owner will not be back to work until later this year. I did find Chisel and Plane Workshop and Chris Whisler does make grips out of American Holly. While not specifically listed there might be the posibility of him making a set of custom grips for black powder revolvers.

I believe the date was July 6, 2016.

Chris Whisler at Chisel and Plane Workshop put these elk grips on my 1860 repro a few years ago. He does excellent work.

Need a close-up of that 1860 Colt and those fantastic elk grips! Very nice!

 

[Crawdad1]

Thank You Sir, I was trying to make my 1860 repro look as good as your Colt!!

My picture taking ability really sucks!!! I still haven't been able to figure out these new digital cameras.
