Damn. Must have set you back a little. Really nice. Thanks. IIRC one piece ivory was about $500 each. But that was several years ago. Seems I paid around $3K for the pair, used of course. Ya reckon I could recoup my investment in current Brandon administration dollars? DF

Gen 3 Colt case colors are not as pronounced as Doug's, are more subtle with almost an iridescent look. Nutmeg fitted the one piece ivories and used the deep dish Colt Medallion. Last is the Colt rosewood grips I carved and had Errol Case in MO checker. Those fit my hand, and I wanted these to be similar, sent one along with the Grip frames of the engraved .38's. Nutmeg did a good job repeating the shape. The rosewood ones also have the deep dish medallion. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/gC17hQ9.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/M9b1JHu.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/F1Tn0Mb.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/QE9BmAC.jpg) Wow! DFarmer those are beautiful.

Thanks, they are special and I'm fortunate to have them.
I did shoot them in CAS and they did get some attention.

I'd love to own that SAA, always wanted an engraved SAA in blue and case colored frame. I had Nutmeg do two Colts for me, I had a new SAA engraved and nickeled w/ one piece Ivory grips, the other was a new GCNM engraved and reblued in a deep royal blue again with Ivory grips. I have a really nice SAA with dual cylinders 45 & 45ACP that I might have to get engraved after seeing yours. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/FmagYWl.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/VIOHF2y.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/jzIMWlg.jpg)

Wow! 😳
Some really nice colt’s here, but, the one piece ivory grips on Dirtfarmers’s and jbmi’s Colts really are something. Hawkeye’s one piece stags are pretty spiffy too.
