While sweetheart grips are certainly 'period', I've noticed a pic show up in the Random Album shots of a plated Luger with cream colored grips...It is a very striking combination...If i had a nickeled luger, I would consider the solid cream grips for it...I suppose they are imitation ivory...that has aged somewhat...Melvin Tyler's company made some faux ivory grips in the past...I had a few sets; not bad...
