I am quite impressed by the mag. bottom work, It is a very difficult bottom to make, and he has captured the fit and look nicely... In my opinion though, the grips leave a bit to be desired as far as fit & finish... But, I understand why completely... there are four major factors when working with ivory, especially elephant tusk... the first concern is initial materials cost... Very, very high!! Before you ever touch it with a tool... it's almost a one shot deal... Second, Accuracy of the part, Luger grips are both difficult to make correctly, let alone fit them properly.. so almost without exception, the set will differ greatly from an original, in both form and fit..... The Third factor is difficulty... not just in the making of the part, as i have mentioned above, but in making all the fixtures, forms and tooling to do it right.... and finally last but not least, the "Fear Factor Issue"... this is evidenced by how thick, or overbuilt the part is when compared to an original, or, just how far do you want to go on a project before you make a very visible mistake!! ... ideally you want to stop just before you screw up!!
Almost all real Ivory grips that i've seen are both poorly fit and almost always extra thick.... When ya get close to the end, ya get kinda nervous!!! They're still nice if that's what you like... but If your going to plunk down that kind of cash, you'd probably like the fit to be a bit tighter... No disrespect intended, I am certainly aware of the difficulty of the task at hand!! Best to all, til....lat'r.....GT
