Of the few known carved mother-of-pearl and ivory grip variations for the pocket hammerless models, this is the only known pair with the carved image on the left grip. These grips are in absolutely pristine condition with no cracks or chips whatsoever. All others in either mother-of-pearl or ivory have either a steer head or eagle on the right grip. The right grip on this gun is a standard medallion ivory grip. This pistol letters blue finish with ivory grips and was a one gun shipment to "Tex Baker" on June 25, 1930. Tex Baker was a radio personality from the 1930s who performed on WWRL radio in New York City. The act was called Tex Baker and his Texas Ramblers. |

Steer head Ivory Grips. Carved ivory is the rarest grip type
for both the Model N and
M. In 1930, the additional cost for carved ivory grips for the Model

$16.50, bringing the total price of this pistol to $31.50 before
tax.
