Colt 1903 1908 Hammerless AGED Bonded Ivory Pistol Grips Smooth w/COLTMedallions

Description

Here’s a beautiful new set of AGED bonded ivory grips for the for the Colt 1903 & 1908 Hammerless pistols, a classic set of Colts from over 100 years ago
.  Colt introduced the 1903 Hammerless model in .32 caliber, then made a .380 version and released it in 1908.  The guns are basically the same as far as grip frames,
and
these grips fit either model 1903 or 1908 in .32 or .380 caliber
.
These do not fit the .25 caliber pistols
.
These are made of bonded ivory, which is a substitute for natural, endangered ivory.  It has the same characteristics as natural ivory and is made with ground ivory and and bone in a resin base.  It is thus environmentally inert while it still ages (and can be artificially aged) like natural ivory.  The result is stunning grips with beautiful polishing and the finest quality machining, all made in the USA.  The fit is very precise, and when installed will highly enhance the appearance of your firearm.  The grips are cut to achieve a nice grip surface that brings out the beauty of the bonded ivory.  This version of the grips are smooth, edge-to-edge.  These grips are installed in halves, with the screw supplied and shown in the pictures.  These grips are simply outstanding when fitted to a gun, and there aren't any photos that really do these grips justice; these are simply beautiful.
These have gold-colored medallions near the top of each panel; if you'd like a set without medallions, please see our other listings.
These are beautiful grips with the look of real aged ivory, highly polished to enhance the beauty of the grip.  The grips start with our bonded ivory grips, which are then artificially aged to give an appearance of old, well-used grips, similar to the kind you'd expect to see on an antique firearm.
Each aged set differs from the next, as the "grain" in the ivory is unique to each piece, resulting in a set that will differ from every other in exact appearance.  The grain appears in the photos as darker lines, while the aging is yellowed, with the coloring uneven as is the case on naturally aged true ivory grips.
These are now an affordable, responsible way to have your favorite pistol wear a grip set that gives the gun that classic look, saving you the time of artificially aging our standard bonded ivory grips.
If you prefer a wood set with medallions or the logo engraved directly into the wood, see our other listings as we have that as well as pearl grips.
These come with a grip screw to use in place of the original grip screws from your Colt.  These are easy to install as they're panel-type grips and simply replace those already on the gun.
Fitting may be required to your specific gun since these guns varied during their production; we provide a tight fit to 90% of the guns produced, while the others may need modification.
These pictures are samples of the some of the grips; yours will be similar in appearance, but lighting makes these appear differently, with bright lighting making them appear whiter and normal room lighting causing them to appear beige.  They are an off-white in actual color.
The grips made in the USA by craftsmen using modern CNC equipment to allow these to be sold at a price that is affordable.  They are beautifully made, and the pictures can't truly show the beauty of these grips.
If you're looking for other versions (including checkered or stippled grips) or for grips for other firearms, see our other listings as we have a lot of different types of grips.
These are for either left- or right-handed shooters, as there is no distinct thumb rest on either side's grip panel.
This is a great way to improve the appearance and handling of your gun while adding the look of fine wood to your gun.  They complement blued or stainless guns equally well.
