Hey all, I'm in the process of making 1911 grips out of Elk antler and was wondering if anyone new if any DW 1911 models grips were the same as a basic Springfield Mil-Spec?

I do own a DW 15-2 set just haven't picked up a DW 1911 yet.

Thanks

Gorgeous! 

They should be interchangeable, that's one of the great things about 1911's!

Yes I am selling these 2 pairs, it's very difficult to get antlers that will work for these style grips, it will be a long time before I come across more.

I thought I'd get 4 pairs out of the antlers these came from, but only got 2 pair, it makes them very expensive to make.

 

If anyone is intersted in these please let me know.

The first pair with the nice grain pattern are 95.00 and the other pair are 80.00

 

I can send high-res images of either set that show better details. The smooth light colored areas on both pairs are polished to a high gloss.

 

Thanks
