Default Need twin ivories for a GH-16 made 1901

Just perchased a nice old damascus 1901 GH grade 16. No barrel isues and tight old gun with good screws, little to no finish left on metal but good patern on barrels, very good wood...sweet. Both ivory beads have been nocked off. Part of each beed is still in the round setting. I just need the beeds. Would like real ivory that has that milky off white color. Will carfully remove old beads and glue in the new ones. I have a VH 20 with the same beed set to match the size with. Some scap ivory may work and make them myself? Anyone have a salution to fixing this. It also has the lower 1 1/2" missing from the DHBP ...broke at the lower screw and is gone? No-1 frame with widdows peak. Anyone have a broken plate with a good lower section that could be hand fitted to mine? the top part fits so well I hate to try a aftermarket plate. I have a minty no-2 widows peak plate but its to narrow at the lower toe area and the scew patern is different? Just will not work...)-: If I can fix these two isues it will make a very nice old Parker with no additional work! Plan to shoot the correct short shells...the 28" barrels are chokes .019/.028 6lb-10oz gun, will make a nice preserve gun...(-: thanks all Kenny Graft SXS ohio
