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.

Returns: We very rarely have any of our products returned.  As a mater of fact in over 15 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. Personal checks may delay shipment.
