Many of the "real" ones weren't ivory at all. Even now, it's possible to buy faux ivory grips for the real steel Colt 45 that look like ivory.
Surely you don't believe that modern technology can't produce plastic that mimics ivory.
And just about everything else. Tokyo Marui managed to make plastic that looks like metal.
Look at the grips on the Schofield pellet revolver. They actually look like wood.
And the ivory grips on the Schofield bb revolver don't look like plastic.
But the Colt SAA white grips do look like plastic. And, come to that, the "wood" grips on some of the Colt SAA revolvers look like plastic too.
The limited editions are better.
