The grips on my 5 1/2"revoler are not elephant ivory but are what I call American ivory, just elk stag with no bark. I made them from a shed anler I picked up when working in Arizona. I have them on several of my revovlers and plan to add them to several more. I like the look and the cost. Not quite as heavy as elephant, yet easier to obtain.
Depending on how bad it was scuffed, a lot of metal can be moved back into place by burnishing. Files and sandpaper remove metal. Burnishing moves it back into place. Just an option for you.Strawhat you wouldn't want mine. I loaned it to the 4H pistol club and it was sitting on a shooting bench that blew over. The little pistol slid along the concrete for some distance.
Thus proving the adage that no good deed go unpunished.

Treblig,
I don't know for certain, but does Uberti offer the '62 Pocket Police in the 6 1/2 inch version? That might fill your need until you find what you are looking for.
Yes, it is one of my favorite revolvers. The most recent two to join the group were both built in 1973 and imported by Replica Arms of Marietta, Ohio. These were built by Uberti, as they are fairly accurate copies of the Pocket Police revolver.I'm going out on a limb here, but I think Strawhat likes the 62 even more than I do.
It's like the M1 carbine in that it's just SO handy.
Speaking of dogs, my 1977 Uberti from a kit had quite a bark and recoil when loaded to the max with BP. A very nice and handly little revolver, oldest daughter was very accurate with it and still has it.Yes, it is one of my favorite revolvers.

It seems the 1862, like stray dogs, seem to find me when they need a new home.
