There is another Warther museum that is not too far form this one. All of the carvings in it are in ivory only and are based on the development of ships. I think there are something like 80 or more ship models. All of the rigging on the ships are in very thin strips of ivory. There is no other materials used in the models. I think the carver is a grandson of the carver that did the trains. He works in ivory for a profession so some of the gun engravers may have purchased ivory grips from him. He also makes other ivory parts for instruments and items that need ivory parts for restoration. He sells hi products around the world. I do know he has a website to sell his products. If you are interested do a search for Warther and ivory grips.
