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. I have also been contacted by the Smith & Wesson Custom Shop,
Turnbull Restorations, U.S. Firearms, Nighthawk Custom, and The American Historical Foundation to perform ivory work for them. It is very rewarding to be
associated with companies as prestigious as these.
Just a word about ivory rating or grading.
You may have seen on the web that one or
two ivory grip makers grade their ivory as A, AA, or AAA. This so
called system is a misnomer. When a tusk is cut we find out if we
have real white ivory or varying degrees of grain. Some dealers make
people pay a premium for graining that they themselves did not pay a
premium for. It's a little like double dipping. My feeling is
this: The customer can request what they would like to see in terms
of color. I will then do my best to meet their request.
Usually I am pretty close if not right on, and there is never any extra
charge.

The above pictured gallery of
grips and medallions is just a sampling of what we can do for you at NUTMEG SPORTS. Some of the
grips are special and you must contact us for prices. The
rest of the pricing is mentioned later on this page.
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, PayPal or personal check. Personal checks may delay
shipment.
