Ivory Grips
Here in our workshop we manufacture ivory gun grips. It is very important that you know you are buying legally imported African elephant ivory. This material is not a polymer made up from resins and sprinkled with ivory dust. We cut the grips right from the tusk. This is the genuine article.
The grips are the part of the gun that connects it to the man. They must feel right and most of all they must be fit properly. The Colt Custom Gun Shop feels strongly about our work. We are under special contract to them to do ivory work. We have also made ivory grips for the Smith & Wesson Custom Shop, Turnbull Restorations, U.S. Firearms, Nighthawk Custom, The American Historical Foundation, and Baron Technolohies. It is very rewarding to be associated with companies as prestigious as these.

Returns: We very rarely have any of our products returned. As a mater of fact in over 20 years we have NEVER had a gun returned. In the rare event however if a product is returned, full credit will be issued minus the original shipping charges and a 10% restocking fee.
If you need ivory grips for a 1911 or 1911 style gun, we do not require the gun to make the grips. We have several slave receivers here to assure a perfect fit.
On SAA's we must have the gun so we can fit the grips to it properly. The process is simple. There is no special license or FFL required by you to ship a gun to me for grips. You must ship your gun to my BATF registered FFL address and attach an "ADULT SIGNATURE REQUIRED" label. You must ship " Next Day Air" service only using UPS or FED-EX. My FFL address is:
James V. Alaimo
Nutmeg Sports, LLC
38 Crystal Ridge Drive
Tolland, CT
06084
Please be sure to tell me what configuration you would like for your SAA grips. That is one piece, two piece, with or without Colt medallions. If yes on the medallions please specify what style. If you want, you can keep the cylinder and the existing grips, but I need the frame, backstrap, and trigger guard. You can ship UPS-Next Day Air or Federal Express but NOT by U.S. Mail. The reason for no license requirement for you is we are not doing a transfer...you are shipping your gun to me so I may perform work on it. Therefore it is referred to as a "Repair and Return". This procedure is in strict compliance with the BATF guidelines.
Payment can be made by cash, certified check, money order, Visa, MasterCard or personal check.
