I be a turkish version of General Patton with pearl handle pellet pistols

I remember that line from the movie, but won't quote it on GTA . . .

"Those are IVORY, only a  . . . . . . .   would have "PEARL-HANDLED pistols ! " . . . LOL !

  opps  , I thought they were pearl

Writes biographer Hirshon, "Patton related to Joyce that his attachment to two ivory-handled revolvers stemmed from the incident. During the fray, he had had to stop and reload his six-shooter. While he did, three shots just missed his head. Henceforth, in times of danger, he preferred to wear two Colt Frontier-model .45-caliber revolvers. Newspapers often described them as pearl-handled because it sounded more colorful."

We know that when asked about those "pearl handles" on a later occasion, General Patton angrily corrected the reporter who asked the question and sharply explained that they were ivory. "Only a New Orleans pimp," Patton snarled, "would carry a pearl-handled gun."

 Aww there, you go I fell into the same old  saying general Patton with pearl handle  pistols, it sounds better but yes I see now they were ivory  that makes sense / I fixed the main post but all the others remain the same they still say pearl
