Thanks Joe K! |

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock
IVORY: Alaska, United States
PISTOL TYPES: Jeff Meister Custom, Cabot, Colt, Kimber, Springfields, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, Nighthawk, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones
MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety, bob tail (Ed Brown) or Kimber's Super Carry Pro. Thumb groove for better access to magazine release.
COMMENTS: This high contrast of black and white ivory grips will make a dramatic statement on any black or blue pistol. Great look once they are on the pistol and a warm buttery feel so desired by 1911 owners. Good value at this price. Remember to click on the picture to see how they look on my Ed Brown Special Forces pistol.
Check my new menu item "Ivory File". For $3 dollars, this file will keep that gloss and mint condition look on these grips. I even have a video demo on how to use it. So please check it out and tell me what you think. If you already own some ivory grips, this file will increase the value of that investment. A high gloss set of ivory grips often sells for $50 to $100 more than a flat/dull set of grips.

COMMENTS: These are a great book matched set with bold bark lines and even bolder gold colors. A classic example of what Siberian ivory has best to offer. I encourage you to click on the picture to see them on my Ed Brown Special Forces pistol. Don't let the pattern fool you, these grips are totally smooth and highly polished giving them that 3-dimensional look when viewed up close. Unique as a thumbprint, no one will ever have a pair like these. These types of grips are starting to become extremely rare since very little ivory has been making it out of Russia for almost 2 years and thus will hold their value extremely well (likely increase in a few more years.)

Despite their appearance, these are totally smooth and highly polished and I encourage you to click on the picture to see them on my Ed Brown Special Forces pistol. Having both an ancient and mint condition look is one of the great things about Mammoth ivory and these demonstrate that very well.

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety and/or bob tail (Ed Brown). Thumb groove for improved access to magazine release
COMMENTS: Nice book matching and grain pattern, 3-dimensional depth of color, heal bevels, etc. Growth pattern (Schreger lines) visible on each heal. These took an exceptional polish , but still show color depth. Please click on the picture to see a better view and how they look on my Ed Brown Special Forces pistol. Just a pure representation of Elephant ivory and its unique character. They will not only offer a great contrast, and framing, to any black or blue gun, but they will also make a great investment. Elephant ivory is getting more scarce all the time, and as such, these grips will only increase in value over time. This has the classic cut of beveled heal and MSH bolt notch.
All edges and corners were de-horned to make them a soft feel in the hand when shooting. These also have that warm buttery feel you only get with real ivory.

Nice soft blues swirled throughout the copper ivory gives these a very unique look that can only be found in Mammoth ivory. Dark colors make these a good candidate for a conceal carry. Despite their appearance, these are totally smooth and have that warm buttery feel you get with real ivory. Rare to have such a high contrast of blue and copper ivory appearing on the same grips. Should frame out well on any pistol, but naturally will have the greatest impact on a black or dark blue pistol. Don't forget to click on the picture to see how they look on my Kimber Eclipse.

COMMENTS: Remember these are Compact/Officer sized grips. Rare Mammoth ivory found by Eskimos along the shores of Alaska, these black and blue ivory grips finished with a high gloss. Combine that with a rich and complex pattern and these were very hard to capture in pictures. Don't forget to click on the above picture to see them on my Kimber Eclipse.
Great example on what the Alaskan environment does to Mammoth ivory as opposed to Siberian ivory. Also a good choice for a Conceal and Carry pistol due to its dark colors. You are going to have trouble putting your pistol down after these are on. Again, a very rich and complex pattern and colors not often seen in Mammoth ivory.

MODIFICATIONS: Setup is in place for an ambidextrous safety.
COMMENTS: Beyond book matched, these mirror matched grips have high visual acuity that gives great depth of color and a truly mint look. Wooly Mammoths had larger molars to help digest about 200 pounds of vegetation each day. The dark areas were softer and the light areas were harder. This created an uneven surface as they wore down and much like a cheese grater they made the molars more efficient. They fell out and were replaced with new teeth about every three years. Mammoth tooth grips have been made before, but I avoided them due to their hard brittle tendencies. This has now been resolved by inlaying the Mammoth tooth into Aluminum grips. They are now light weight, durable, and beautiful. Even more, these grips will over a few years begin to wear to your unique hand print. It will take a while, but it is cool to think about how your grips will form to your unique hand shape.
It goes without saying that these grips will "pop" and "scream" off any black, blue, or stainless 1911 pistol. Clicking on the above picture will even show how they look on my Ed Brown Special Forces and Kimber Stainless II. If you want to maintain that high gloss, mint condition look, yourself just ask me to include a polishing file for $3.00 (see Polishing file in the main menu to see how it works!)

MODIFICATIONS: Setup is in place for an ambidextrous safety.
COMMENTS: These pictures had to be taken at an odd angle to avoid the strong light reflections and so please click on the picture to see how they look on my pistols. Hints of blues and grays in the enamel make these a great match to any color of pistol. Coming together of ancient and modern, this striking example of "mint" Mammoth tooth has been inlayed into Black G10(tactical) material to provide a lightweight, durable, and beautiful set of 1911 grips. A rare example of mint condition Mammoth Tooth as it would have looked 10,000 years ago. This Wooly Mammoth should have gone and seen a dentist long ago and had his teeth cleaned, but the result was a beautiful set of grips. Wooly Mammoths had larger molars to help digest about 200 pounds of vegetation each day. The dark areas were softer and the light areas were harder.

COMMENTS: Remember these are Compact/Officer sized grips. Interesting note: The buyer, Les, did not see in the pics that they were highly polished. The dark streaks above the top bushing hole are actually reflections of my face. That is how highly polished they are!
Never more true with these, "If you do not like blue ivory there is no need to read further." One of the most vibrant blue Mammoth ivory grips I have ever produced, these have it all. Great depth of color, several shades of blue from baby to bright Sapphire, these are flawless in every way. Even the patina white ivory has no checks, blemishes, or crackle lines. It is as if Mother Nature just kissed the top of the grips and left the remaining ivory clean and pure. I can imagine no pistol that these wouldn't just sizzle on. I saw the potential early on and so I worked these by hand for several days to bring out the most vivid colors and near mirror image book matching I could possibly achieve. These are a great example of why even after seven years I love working with Mammoth ivory.
These will be an extremely durable set of grips and as such great for your every day carry. These have that warm buttery feel and took a very high polish that resulted in a lot of light reflections. So please click on the picture to see how they look on my Kimber CDP II.

COMMENTS: It is continuing to be a struggle to find quality Mammoth ivory and to that effort I had some help from the local natives in Alaska for the ivory used in these grips. I saw the opportunity to achieve a highly book matched set of grips if I worked these by hand and the result seems worth the effort. Black ivory, with hints of blue, created a very distinctive look in these grips and should work well on any color pistol. Defines the term "investment grade". Very soft in the hand, these grips are setup in the Magwell (square corner) configuration, but can be given the traditional notch around the main spring housing bolt upon request. Remember to click on the picture to see how they look on my Ed Brown Special Forces pistol.

COMMENTS: Coming together of ancient and modern, this striking example of Mammoth tooth has been inlayed into Black G10(tactical) material to provide a lightweight, durable, and beautiful set of 1911 grips. With alternating layers of blue and white enamel these grips will work well on any stainless, black, or blue pistol.

COMMENTS: Competition shooters are now embracing the thumb groove feature on their grips to give them cleaner and safer access to the magazine release button. So when these grips were finished I saw the opportunity to add this groove and take them to the SHOT show. There, competition shooters and shooting champions gave me extremely high feedback. It not only allowed better access to the magazine release, but immediate feedback that the right hand was in a proper and secure position. These have an exceptional polish and depth of color. As a result they are a great example of what only Mammoth ivory can bring to your special pistol. And the warm buttery feel will make it hard to put your pistol down.

COMMENTS: More rare than blue, greens like these seldom get mention as one of the colors founds in Mammoth. These have a sea foam to emerald color that gives the grips a very sophisticated look, and enough color depth, that they will be immediately recognized as a special example of Mammoth ivory. These took a very high gloss during the polish process and so I needed to take the pictures at an angle to reveal their true colors. Please click on the picture to see a better view and how they look on my Ed Brown Special Forces. Just a fun surprise for me to work with this color of ivory and make into a pair of grips.

About ten(10) sets will be available for viewing and purchase at the January 2013 SHOT show in Las Vegas next month. I had intended to not show or sell any until that time, but I know you guys love looking at new and unique ivory grips. It goes without saying that these grips will "pop" and "scream" off any black, blue, or stainless 1911 pistol. Here is your chance to own one of the first sets ever produced. Enjoy....

Custom trigger with 2 - 2 1/2 pound pull
MODIFICATIONS: N/A
COMMENTS: In my business, I am fortunate to work with 1911’s in virtually all price points and this Commander sized pistol is up there with the very best. I had it built to my specifications to be a very comfortable shooter, but the initial driver was my love of Damascus steel.
This custom pistol is extremely comfortable and accurate to shoot and will do 6 shot groupings in 1 ½ inches at 40 yards. Every part was hand-fitted for reliability, performance, and accuracy by Jeff Meister. The Kart National Match barrel is just one example of what Jeff uses to build his quality pistols. Jeff may not be a gun smith you have heard of before, but if quality of work has anything to do with it I expect that to change in the near future. Clicking on the picture will reveal both sides.
Naturally, I had to put the most striking and vibrant blue Mammoth ivory grips on it. Even the bark texture grooves add to the look and feel of these grips. A high end custom pistol needed a high end set of grips.

COMMENTS: Equal amounts of blues, browns, and blacks makes these an exceptional book matched set. Also, it is rare to find ancient Mammoth ivory(10,000 yrs+ old) with its original white ivory intact, these grips have those great blues that seem to have skated across the surface and then mother nature did her thing turning parts of the ivory black and brown. I do not get this opportunity often where the completed grips have such a high contrast between the different colors. These will just "pop" off of any black, blue, or stainless pistol and give it a whole new look.

COMMENTS: If "blues" don't do it for you, skip these grips. One of my favorite types of blue, these seem to change color from bright sky blue, to a deep ocean blue, when they are viewed from different angles and under different types of light. These are a nice clean and durable set that will upgrade the look of any 1911 and certainly add value since "blue" of this type is so rare. These have the square corner often desired by magwell owners, but they will fit any full size frame and I can put the traditional mainspring housing bolt notch in if desired. These took a very high polish that will surely grab attention out on the range or in your holster. Don't forget to click on the picture to see how they look on my Ed Brown Special Forces and my Kimber Stainless II.
Check my new menu item "Ivory File". For $3 dollars, this file will keep that gloss and mint condition look on these grips. I even have a video demo on how to use it. So please check it out and tell me what you think. If you already own some ivory grips, this file will increase the value of that investment. A high gloss set of ivory grips often sells for $50 to $100 more than a flat/dull set of grips.
Perfect for a everyday carry pistol or that special pistol in your collection just screaming for ivory to complete its look.

COMMENTS: Deep ocean blues and antique whites have these looking truly ancient, but somehow still in mint condition. With a very complex pattern, and different shades of blue, these change color when you view them at different angles. This will be readily apparent for you and others when you get them out on the shooting range. Will frame out nicely on a stainless pistol, but also offers a unique look on a black. Click on the picture above to see them on my Kimber stainless and Ed Brown Special Forces. A nice clean and durable set that will upgrade any 1911 and certainly adding value since "blue" is becoming more rare. These have the square corner often desired by magwell owners, but they will fit any full size frame and I can put the traditional mainspring housing bolt notch in if desired. These took a very high polish so remember to click about to see a larger image.

PISTOL TYPES: Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Cabot, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones Note: Some Cabot guns require special templates to make grips. They have sent me templates for all of their models.
MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety. Thumb groove for speed access to magazine release.
COMMENTS: These took a very high gloss during the polish process and so I needed to take the pictures at an angle to reveal their true colors. Please click on the picture to see a better view and how they look on my Kimber and Ed Brown Special Forces. Green is such a rare color it seldom gets mentioned even in comparison to blue Mammoth. These have a heavy cameo green deep into the heavily grain caramel, black and chocolate backdrop ivory and so these were a fun surprise for me. These will work well on any black, blue, stainless or two tone pistol and with their high gloss, and light texture, they have a almost 3-dimensional look when viewed up close. And they have that warm buttery feel you only get with real ivory. All corners and edges were de-horned for an extra soft feel. The traditional main spring housing bolt notch can be put in upon request.
If you want to maintain that high gloss, mint condition look, yourself just ask me to include a polishing file for $3.00 (see Polishing file in the main menu to see how it works!)
Fine for every day carry or out at the range, these meet/exceed all specifications set by 1911 pistol manufactures.

COMMENTS: With touches of bark on patina white ivory, this book matched set will work well with a black pistol. The grips are very smooth, and have a high gloss, so don't forget to click on the picture to see how these look on my Ed Brown. Good patina that will warm up any pistol and just an extremely solid and durable set of grips. Again, if you like that warm buttery feel you only get with real ivory, these are ones to have. At this current price, they also make a good investment. Prices of quality ivory are going up every year.

COMMENTS: Here is an ancient looking pair of grips with its mixture of whites and creams and then it gets that special "kick" with blue veining and a burst of blue that look like a Sapphire exploded on the surface of the right grip. Nice balance of colors and tones makes these a well matched set. Another beautiful example of what mother nature can do if given the time (in this case 10,000+ years). They have an almost 3-dimensional look when viewed 1st hand that will have you staring at them for hours. Truly a very unique set of grips with that warm buttery feel you only get with real ivory.

COMMENTS: These bright white Elephant ivory grips are a great representation of what Elephant ivory has to offer. Every aspect of each panel is perfectly matched to the other panel. The grain, color tones, and heal all match between the two panels. They will not only offer a great contrast, and framing, to any black or blue gun, but they will also make a great investment. Elephant ivory is getting more scarce all the time, and as such, these grips will only increase in value over time. These have the traditional beveled heal that acts like another facet to an already perfect diamond. All edges and corners were de-horned to make them a soft feel in the hand when shooting. These also have that warm buttery feel you only get with real ivory. Click on the picture to see a larger view and how they look on my Kimber Ultra CDP II.

COMMENTS: This highly book matched set of grips are a classic example of why the word "bark" is often used in describing Mammoth ivory. This set has beautiful white ivory with dark brown bark lines running from head to toe on each panel. These bark lines run barely below the surface and so while they have a crackle appearance, the surface is totally smooth and the grips will be very durable with no chance of cracking or breaking. This kind of ivory really gets noticed at the range or in your holster so be prepared. The panels took a very high gloss you come to expect and the bark adds great depth of color and validity to being true Mammoth Ivory that is over 10,000 years old. They will work great on any color pistol with the best "pop" being on black and blue pistols.

Through my experiences with 1911 Pistol owners and collectors, I recognize that 1911 Pistol owners and enthusiasts are one of the most passionate groups of people. Whether you use your pistol for everyday carrying or merely for collection and display, my one of a kind 1911 Ivory Pistol grips are sure to increase the beauty and value of your pistol, while lasting for years to come. |
Designed by John Moses Browning and initially produced by Colt, the 1911 Pistol is by far the most popular pistol manufactured today. Serving as an official military sidearm, this pistol has been used in several wars including WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. In addition, the 1911 Pistol has been and still is the pistol of choice for both civilians and Law Enforcement. Today, nearly every firearm manufacturer produces one or more versions of this popular pistol. With such a rich history, 1911 Pistols have a substantial following of both collectors and owners.
The Mammoth Ivory used to manufacture my handmade 1911 Ivory Grips comes from the tusks and teeth of Wooly Mammoths. This unique ivory offers a distinct look and feel. As the last Wooly Mammoth became extinct over 10,000 years ago, the supply of this popular Mammoth Ivory is becoming more and more rare. Therefore, the value of your 1911 Ivory Grips, manufactured from only quality real ivory, will only increase in the years to come. If you are interested in buying ivory grips for your 1911 Pistol, contact me to take advantage of this exclusive opportunity.
My custom 1911 Ivory Grips, handmade from real Mammoth Ivory, are the ideal choice whether you are looking to enhance the look and feel of your 1911 Pistol or to increase the value of your investment. These grips offer a number of unique advantages for both the collector and every day user of any 1911 Pistol.
My 1911 Ivory Grips are designed to fit any 1911 Pistol. If you would like a customized ivory grip for your “bob tail” 1911 Pistol or 1911 Pistol with ambidextrous safety, please let me know when ordering. I can modify any of my grips free of charge to accommodate these, or other options.
