These blind screw carved eagle grips were on a flattop I recently acquired. What do you think? Are they ivory or some man-made material?
They seem to have "grain" like ivory and minor color variations. They also appear to be hand-fitted at the top, the frame cutouts on the two panels are not symmetric.
I couldn't find anything exactly like them in an online search. Closest I came to them were these. There were others with eagles with shields but not this same pattern.
