Payment Types Accepted: checks, cashiers/bank check, money order Description: SECOND GENERATION SAA .45 COLT CALIBER, 5 1/2" BARREL 1871-1971 NRA CENTENNIAL CASED REVOLVER WITH MAGNIFICENT 10,000 PLUS YEAR OLD WOOLY MAMMOTH IVORY GRIPS! This one has been fired, but shows almost no wear- perhaps a touch of blue thinning on the left side of the barrel near the muzzle- mammoth ivory has gotten amazingly expensive now that Obama's ivory ban has put everyone on edge as one must prove the ivory is over 100 years old to qualify to be able to sell it across state lines etc. (this goes for guns, musical instruments, art etc.), obviously wooly mammoth ivory is exempt. This ivory is usually fairly easy to identify as the grain is "cross hatched" when viewed where cross cut, where as elephant ivory is straight grained, the ivory on this revolver is from the center portion of a mammoth tusk as it is a pleasing creamy color with good grain pattern, ivory further out including "bark ivory" from the outside edge typically is more brown and stained from picking up minerals from the soil in which it was buried for thousands of years (mammoths became extinct from "global warming" about ten thousand years ago), a beautiful blue and case colored revolver in the original case with 100 year anniversary medallion in the lid etc., case is in fine condition with only minor scuffing, the grips alone are worth a considerable amount and are very difficult to obtain now.
