I want them for the S&W 25-7 that I just bought. How about Tru Ivory?

The Eagle Sledgehammer is a very nice grip...

Not 100% positive but I had a set that looked like the ones from Boone Trading Co. If you notice the upper horns of the grip are very thin...one of mine broke.

I have a set of the TruIvory on a USFA Single Action Army...they are stunning...

John Culina makes excellent ivory micarta grips. You have to send him the micarta. I bought a slab of antique ivory micarta from Sheffield's Knifemaking supply and sent it to John. Here is what I got back, note that although all the grips are from the same block of micarta, they appear different hues of yellow depending on the light they are photographed in.

Well good luck sourcing some original Westinghouse micarta stuff.

Been out of production for a long time. Occasionally, a chunk will show up in some dust covered warehouse corner and the guy will slice it up and sell it for a premium. It's original use was as an electrical insulator.

Some of those above links show corian which is a counter top product and quite a bit heavier than micarta and does not "age" to mimic ivory like the Westinghouse does.

Some makers are now trying custom fabricating pieces to replicate some of the early Westinghouse, which is what Dozier Knives had a company do - I think it is pretty close to the yellow Westinghouse. Note the grain pattern. You could contact them and see if they could source some. Ebay can be hit and miss and always get good pictures from the seller.

Yep as Oregon 45 pointed out knifemaking supply houses under handle making materials - linen micarta for the grain pattern.


Those look great!
