More grips from the shoe box

[Fatal_Bert]

I've got 4 sets of some kind of unfinished bone grips here. The 1911 pair looked about finished besides one has been polished and the other hasn't. The revolver grips are rough cut. Anyone know what the market for these are? I don't think they're ivory but definitely some type of bone.

It takes a lot of hand work to get some done. It really does depend on the quality of the bone. All bone is not created equal

Any tips on how to tell what kind of bone it is?

Interesting. But a wise man once told me. If it smells like fish, eat all you wish. If it smells like cologne, leave it alone. Words to live by.
