1911 Woolly Mammoth Ivory - #553
Handcrafted in Texas, this striking set of 1911 grips showcases some of the most dramatic natural character you can get from ancient woolly mammoth ivory. Each piece is carefully cut and finished from ivory sourced out of Russia, where the cold, dry permafrost preserves the material in a remarkably stable state—ideal for high-end knife and firearm craftsmanship.
What sets this set apart is its bold, high-contrast coloration. The base tone carries a rich golden-amber hue, layered with deep black and charcoal streaking that runs naturally through the ivory. These organic mineral patterns formed over thousands of years underground, giving the grips a look that is completely unrepeatable. No dyes, stains, or artificial aging—just natural history preserved in stone-like ivory.
Designed to fit both full-size Government model and Commander-sized 1911 frames, these grips are precision shaped for a clean, seamless installation. Once mounted, they immediately transform the firearm, adding warmth, depth, and a custom-shop presence that stands out without being flashy.
Because each piece of woolly mammoth ivory is unique, no two sets will ever be identical. The set you receive will have its own distinct flow of pattern, contrast, and character—something that can’t be replicated or mass produced. That individuality is what makes these grips so special, and so highly collectible.
We stand behind every set we make. If the grips you receive aren’t exactly what you had in mind, we offer exchanges for a different set, or a refund—because we want you to genuinely love what you’re putting on your firearm.
These grips aren’t just an upgrade—they’re a future heirloom. Built to be used, appreciated, and eventually passed down, they bring together ancient natural material and modern American craftsmanship in a way that makes every 1911 truly one of a kind.
