Although often billed as ivory or bone, both sets are synthetic. Frisch verified that all of these grips were made by Maurice D. Scarlac of a material he developed called Catalin. Wayne reportedly liked them so much that he took them home and personally "tea-stained" them to a yellow color such as the patina often seen on ivory and bone grips.

Did John Wayne have any other interests?
Wayne had many interests apart from his film making career. He loved to hunt and fish. He had an impressive collection of antique guns and Kachina dolls. He was well-read and probably more complex than most people realize.
What type of hand gun did john Wayne carry?
Actually there is information on this very question in a recent American Rifleman article. The grips were made of Calalin, I believe it is Bakelite. The article says that Wayne liked them so much he actually tea stained them himself to replicate old ivory. Although he did use other Colts from Stembridge, the supplier of movie firearms, and at least one had those type of grips, in most movies he used his own Colt with the Catalin yellow grips. He also had finger grooves in the left grip. The interesting thing about the gun is that it was a combination of several Colts. Originally a Bisley, it had been altered by adding a regular SAA grip and the triggerguard had been enlarged, probably to better fit the Duke's large finger and make it easier to twirl. And actually it is not a .45 as thought, but a .44-40. He gifted this gun and his holster and belt to an employee and it is now in a private collection. It really is an interesting look when you see a good picture of it. I would like to build one to go with my own Duke gun rig. I suspect the Duke's own Colt would be worth 6 figures.

Can a pistol be fired without grips?
Yes ======= As previously stated, Yes. It can. But it would probably hurt your hand quite a bit. There are usually mechanical functions happening under the grip. The hammer spring/strut assembly is usually there. That covers 99% of most revolvers/auto loaders. Glock and other polymer framed "striker fire" guns generally don't have this, but the grips are usually not removable anyways.
