Hi!

Yes, Kiwicollektor's right. The value is approx. 300 usd in this condition.
I think the us vet customized, the style is not hungarian.

Well the large bird on the left grip resembles the Sturm Ruger logo. Either someone wanted to make this look like a Ruger or they really liked Hank Williams Jr!

And the symbol on the other side is a halberd or pole-arm...

As unusual as this may sound, the grips appear to be mastodon ivory with a gold nugget inlay. These type of items were souvenirs of the Klondike, Yukon in the 1950's. The etched 'bird' is probably a phoenix. As you might imagine, gold nuggets are rather collectible these days.

That is exactly what I thought the moment I saw it.

The gold nugget could be worth more than the pistol..
