Bonded Ivory was developed as an economical genuine Ivory substitute. This epoxy, filled with natural materials, works and polishes, as well as looks like real Ivory. With age, it develops a yellowish patina which makes it indistinguishable from the more expensive and fragile real thing. Bonded Ivory is durable and tough for heavy use and long life.

I would love to have a nickle-plated Luger with plain smooth faux Ivory grips. No checkering, no inlays, no graphics, no fat grips, just unbroken Ivory...

Melvin Tyler offered faux Ivory long ago, and it was nice for a while...Until it aged/yellowed...

Altamont's doesn't look right on blued Lugers...

I had a set of these - they were just a bit too white.

unsure why Ted would get riled up, although I liked the grips i see above, not sure what was said?
