    Corect luger grips?

    I see from time to time lugers with what is claimed to be replacement grips,numbered grips and non numbered. My question is how can you spot replacement grips and why are some numbered and others not? I have a S/42 1936 with non numbered grips that apear to be original unless mabe they were replaced early in it's career? They match the wear & tear with the gun.

    Un-numbered Grips

    Tom,

    My 1936 is in the middle of the "i" block, and it has un-numbered wood grips that I believe are original. Un-Numbered grips were used during 1936.

    Answering´s going to be a bit difficult. Grips depend on when the pistol was made and by whom. Think yours would have had black Bakelite (resin) grips. BUT, it it´s a Russianicon or East Germanicon re-work, they would have been replaced with black plastic grips.

    The org. grips on Tom's 1936 S/42 would have been wood, not black bakelite.
    His luger was made by mauser werke.
