Default Nighthawk Firehawk & matching mammoth ivory knife

My new Nighthawk is officially in transit to my FFL and scheduled to arrive on Monday. The store I purchased it from has better pics than I take so I figure I'd use em. Now I'm on the hunt for some nice grips to replace the mammoth ivory when shooting it.

Edit 4/2 - Full Disclaimer: I no longer call California my home. This Firearm, grip panels, and knife, have never crossed enemy lines. Thank you for the information and concern below.

Thank you, Brett. The dealers listing didn't specify and neither does the build sheet but it's my understanding it's crosscut ivory. I've been told it's best to pull them when firing so I'm looking for a handsome set of buckeye burl checkered grips for such occasion.

Funny thing is the Firehawk brought me to see you last year. You told me the conversion time and talked me into an Erebus instead... Still one of my favorite purchases to date...😁

I love it, we are doing lots of Nighthawks now but haven't secured a tusk order yet. Absolutely gorgeous. Next time you come to the shop, bring it! Need to see it in person to really appreciate it

(3) Ivory or rhinoceros horn that is part of a musical instrument, including, but not limited to, a string or wind instrument or piano, and that is less than 20 percent by volume of the instrument, if the owner or seller provides historical documentation demonstrating provenance and showing the item was manufactured no later than 1975.
(4) Ivory or rhinoceros horn that is part of a bona fide antique and that is less than five percent by volume of the antique, if the antique status is established by the owner or seller of the antique with historical documentation demonstrating provenance and showing the antique to be not less than 100 years old.
(5) The purchase, sale, offer for sale, possession with intent to sell, or importation with intent to sell ivory or rhinoceros horn for educational or scientific purposes by a bona fide educational or scientific institution if both of the following criteria are satisfied:

Beautiful pistol! The grips look amazing!

Be careful what you say and post on the internet. Refer to Quiet's post above.
