SCRIMSHAW
We offer scrimshaw on ivory or simulated ivory grips. We have a number of nice standard scrimshaw designs that we can put on any of the simulated ivory grips. The charge for one of our standard scrimshaw designs is $30 per panel. It can be done in color or black-and-white. Examples are shown below. Some designs are shown on two or three different grips to show how they will look on an automatic as opposed to a revolver.

Examples of standard scrimshaw designs:

CUSTOM SCRIMSHAW

Custom scrimshaw starts at about $75 per panel and can go up from there, depending on detail and coverage. Our artists can do any wildlife, insignias, banners, human figures, etc. If you have an image you'd like to have custom scrimshawed, it's very helpful if you can provide a picture or a sketch. Custom scrimshaw takes about three weeks from the time the grips are ready to scrimshaw, and we will quote you a price upon receipt of your images.

Below are examples of our custom scrimshaw designs on our ivory grips. These examples range in price from $150 to $250.
