If you have one or know of a picture of one, let's see'em. Shiny new or well aged, DA or SA. Contemplating a BBQ type gun and would like to see some visual confirmation of my imagination. Please, no cheap New Orleans whorehouse pearl handled ones...

Huntsman, that is OUTSTANDING. I like being able to see the grain in those grips.

These are white linen micarta from Hogue. Not bad looking at all, with it's bit of grain visible. I picked them up from Midway a while back, they were around $100.

Not ivory, but imitation stag.

Excellent, that's what I'm talkin' about. Please, keep'em coming. Reason for the thread is I'm getting a 1952 vintage 5 screw S&W K-38 refinished in a "Deluxe" blue. Yes, I know, rebluing hurts the collector value but this one would never be a collector item, it's a shooter which is why I got it for a good price. Lots of cosmetic issues but it is definitely a Good Shooter. It has the diamond service stocks but I like a larger grip and with the ridiculous prices folks are asking for even ratty looking original S&W target grips I figured if I have to spend some coin anyway then why not go ahead and splurge a bit on some nice ones. Obviously "nicer" these days still means imitation ivory but I wanted to get an idea of what that might look like. Found these faux ivory ones at a reasonable price and they can be aged as well.

I am considering mastodon Ivory grips for a single action I am having built. Here is a link with a few pics of ivory grips: https://singleactions.proboards.com/thread/28203/ivory-walnut
