Ivory would have to be the unquestioned king of handgun grip materials. As far back as the first presentation Colt revolvers, mirror matched panels of ivory have found their way onto handguns that the user just wanted to spruce up a little bit. There are several kinds of ivory, but the best comes from the African elephant. A rich, creamy white material that can be checkered, carved or scrimshawed, ivory also looks good in polished form. It also changes over time, darkening and taking on a range of light, exotic colors. At the present time, there is a good deal of perfectly legal trophy ivory available to our grip makers. There are certain guns that really respond to a set of ivory grips and I believe that the Peacemaker Colt revolver leads the list.
