Mammoth Ivory 1911 Grips

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.

COMPATIBILITY: Colt 1911 Full Size, Commander & Officer | Kimber | Wilson Combat | Dan Wesson | Nighthawk | All standard 1911-pattern pistols

1911 Woolly Mammoth Ivory - #554

US$650.00 US$700.00

Handcrafted in Texas, this distinctive set of 1911 grips is made from ancient woolly mammoth ivory, carefully selected and finished to highlight the natural beauty formed over thousands of years. Sourced from the frozen permafrost regions of Russia, this ivory is prized not only for its rarity, but also for its exceptional stability—preserved in dry, cold conditions that help prevent movement or warping over time.

This particular set features a warm golden-amber base tone with deep smoky charcoal and mossy green mineral staining that flows naturally through each scale. The patterns are not applied or enhanced—they are the result of mineral deposits and environmental conditions that developed while the ivory rested underground for over 10,000 years. Each grip carries its own unique composition of color and contrast, making every set truly one of one.
