Here's a good basic site. There are many dealers who are still occasionally fooled by "good" fake ivory...

I need to buy some good fake ivory for a pistol restoration. Does anybody know where I can buy some?
I hope this isnt a hi-jack, sorry if it is.

I take the hot pin test back. Bad info from an old friend. Good site for specifics.

Believe me I tried to sell him on the real deal but they would be worth more than the gun.

Thanks Guys, I think the tru-ivory will fill the bill.
