General George S. Patton wore a set of matching pearl handled pistols.
The above answer, and the question which preceded it, are based on misconceptions of the American press during World War 2. Patton had two Colt .45 pistols with ivory handles instead of mother-of-pearl, but he only wore one at a time, not both. Under his uniform tunic he carried a .32 pistol as a backup.
