Just let me know how you want payment sent.  And you carve these out of white rhino horn? Heheheh

I assume these will fit the 160's 180's and all your customs. 
One of my 160's came with wood grips, and I am sure they were ordered with the guns, way back when.  What type of wood were they made of?

Made with a wide variety of domestic and exotic woods, too many to mention, very few were the same combination...I don't recall making any of just one type wood...Most had a combination of 3 to five species, with light and dark contrasting. Don't even remember how many sets. The Int'l series were black and white made up of Holly and Macasser Ebony. FWIW dept.

It's rare for an AM to turn up in the Mid South, but I remember seeing one once that had what I now know were micarta grips, yellow in color - kind of antique looking. They probably came with the gun. I wouldn't mind a set like that. How are those done? Are they yellow to start with, or white that is stained?

Ginsaw, those were the good old days. That particular paper Micarta  is no longer available, it aged like Ivory, and even had a similar grain effect. The nearest available that I've found is the linen Micarta. But doesn't yellow like original or elephant ivory. I probably made 35-40 sets with that old Micarta. Wish it was still available.   ;-/

I took a pair of new ruger white grips that I think was modern day Macarta and soaked them in very stong tea for 3 days and the white turned just a ever so light yellow....Rick

It's a shame those yellow Micartas aren't available today. They were some kind of nice. I've never seen anything else that has the same look. There are yellow grips out there, but in other materials. The closest I've ever owned was a pair of  HP grips that a gunsmith said were "franzilite" (not probably the right spelling). He thought they were a little gaudy for a Browning, but I liked them. Yellow outside, white inside and a hard but brittle resin like material. Never run across it elsewhere.
 
Curmudgeon, given any thought to including an AM medallion in the grips?
 
Rick, I remember reading that the Duke tea stained his the same way.
