Heavy Antiqued Smooth Bone Grips for the Colt 1st Gen
There’s good reason bone grips show up on so many old revolvers. In the late 19th century, craftsmen worked with materials that were available, durable, and practical. Bone could be shaped, polished, and finished by hand, giving a working revolver a serviceable grip without the cost of ivory. By the 1870s and 1880s, bone grips were a familiar sight on firearms of the period.
These smooth bone grips are hand made for the Colt 1st Generation Single Action. The two-piece construction follows the traditional form used on period revolvers, while the heavy antiquing gives the bone an aged, well-used character. Natural variation in the material keeps each pair from looking too uniform.
What I like about this pair is the way the bone and heavy antiquing come together. They are newly hand made to fit the Colt 1st Generation Single Action grip frame, but have the sort of character you would expect on an old working six-shooter. The finish gives them an aged appearance without pretending they are original period grips. The pictured pair is the exact pair you will receive.
