Holy crap!
Federally, it's okay if they're on a gun. Unless your specific state forbids it.

I don’t care for .357 in a single action but that is a great price at $1800.

I don't remember, you'd have to find the statute. I read up on it heavily because I was having several sets made right before the rule change. What I remember is that you cannot buy ivory or have new grips made unless it happens within your home state. Ivory that is already installed on a handgun is fine. I bought my ivory-stocked New Service after the rules changed.

Colt New Frontier revolvers are not as desirable as a regular Single Action Army, so they tend to go for less money than a SAA.
I paid $900 for this one in 2018. Chambered for 45 Colt, shipped in 1965. In very good shape, but the grips do not fit quite right, they are probably replacements. Even so, I think $1800 for a New Frontier is a bit too much.

New Frontiers have gone up, along with everything else. $1800 for a New Frontier with ivory is dirt cheap. $900 for that 2nd generation was cheap.Colt New Frontier revolvers are not as desirable as a regular Single Action Army, so they tend to go for less money than a SAA.

They all came with the plainest black walnut you've ever seen.

Real ivory grips are damn near worth the price alone. Or put another way, it's just about a pair of ivories with a free gun attached.

I would buy that New Frontier at that price, even with the regular grips. Too bad that the state the OP lives in is classified Top Secret.

So did some reading. Ivory is ok if it less than 20% of the gun. Not sure if that’s by weight of what

Yeah it’s the statute that I haven’t been able to put my hands on. Internet sources I’ve found are nebulous.
