WTS Himalayan Rams Horn and Elephant Ivory grips for the Ruger Bearcat Shopkeeper. if I didn't have more Rams Horn and Ivory grip material saved back then I definitely wouldn't be selling these but since I do I thought i'd offer them up to anyone who needed a one of a kind set of grips.
first up is a really outstanding set of Himalayan Rams Horn.
price is $200 shipped and insured.
next up is Elephant Ivory. it's hard to see in the pictures but these grips have a really beautiful grain to them.
price is $275 shipped and insured.
the blanks I used to make these grips were cut from the upper semi hollow section of the tusk, because they were slightly hollow on the backs I had to use a mixture of clear epoxy and Ivory dust to act as a filler, this allowed me to make the blanks perfectly flat on the back but as you can see in the next two pictures the filler can be seen in two small spots on the bottom and upper portions of the grips. also because of the natural shape of the tusk the right panel is a little bit thinner on the back side (see the last picture) when compared with the left panel. to me the difference can't be felt at all.
thanks for looking!
