Our woolly mammoth ivory 1911 grips are crafted from genuine Siberian ivory — the actual tusks of woolly mammoths that lived between 10,000 and 40,000 years ago. This material is fully legal to own and sell in the United States. It is prehistoric ivory, completely distinct from modern elephant ivory and not subject to any CITES restrictions or Endangered Species Act regulations.
Each tusk section produces entirely unique coloration: ivory white, cream, caramel, brown, and occasionally deep chocolate tones, with natural Schreger lines (the distinctive crosshatch grain unique to proboscidean ivory) visible in many pieces. No two grips are ever identical.
Our proprietary stabilization process locks in the material's structure, dramatically reducing the risk of warping, cracking, or moisture absorption. Every set is hand-fitted and finished to your 1911 model.
