Hugh, I noted with some interest that the current high bidder at E-Bay on those carved ivory Luger grips is a certain H.Clark, that wouldn't be you would it?? If so you need to ask if they truely are CARVED from ivory, the last time I was in Germany I found that a lot of ivory items were made from ground up ivory mixed with some kind of epoxy and pressed out in a mold. It is really hard to get a piece of ivory nowadays big enough to do that due to export and import restrictions. I suspect these might fall into that category.
