The panel on the left shows very little of the unique ivory burl core (secondary dentine) which is unique to walrus ivory, the right panel displays more.  Walrus ivory has interior fissures and cracks. Not commonly used outside of native Alaskan carving and scrimshaw, we have a few sets made with pre 1972 walrus ivory, these are especially rare in white ivory.  We recommend putting these on a show gun rather that an every day shooter, these cannot be replaced. Shown with Swirl Screws (not included), order seperately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll of our ivory grips have been stabilized and are guaranteed against breakage for life!  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIf your not satisfied with these grips, simply return them unaltered within 30 days and we will cheerfully refund your money, issue a credit or make an exchange, your choice.
