This stunning set of grips is for the Colt New Service 1917
Revolver. It is made with a blue-violet backing of solid
opaque polyurethane over which is bonded a flamingo
(nearly red) translucent pearl filled with sea shell nacre
(such as pearls and the inside of abalones grow) which is
ground to a fine dust. The combination makes a nearly
raspberry-red tone with just a hint of the violet backing
showing as an outline, lots of sparkle and tiny dots of
color in changing light. Photos don't do it justice.
