Hunts, those “ivory” grips look really nice. I have a Colt New Frontier that could use a little dressing up. Who makes them?

My only pair of Sambar stags are on a 1911. I've had them over 20 years. Paid 75$ for them.

This '48 Government Model belongs to my Mother. She inherited it from my Uncle. Pretty sure these are Sambars.

Can't answer that as the gun was a hand-me-down from my Dad. He bought it new in the 1950s. I have the black grips, also.

I like the looks of stag, but for me, too much bark doesn't look good.
