where to buy new walnut grips?

I also have a set of the Gun Parts Corp (formerly Numrich) laser-cut grips on order, after trying a set from Sarco that were made in India. The Sarco grips were twice as thick as OEM Luger grips, but were very nice in color and the checkering was very good. One bad point was that the left grip did not completely fill the "point cavity" at the top front. Sarco also does business on eBay under the username "ocras2007" or other numbers/dates. (Sarco spelled backwards). I've seen these same grips there.

Hopefully, if I can get another set for shooting, I can send my OEM commercial set to Hugh for recheckering.

Here are photos of the GPC and Sarco grips. The lighter colored ones on the Luger on the stand are GPC. The are finely checkered and fit the 1937 perfectly without any adjustment. The grips on the other Luger are from Sarco and have much coarser checkering. I sanded those grips down so they weren't so thick, recut the checkering and then stained them. The Sarco grips required a lot of hand fitting also. Even at $14.95 for the Sarco grips and $34.95 for the GPC grips, I think GPC is the better deal because they are the closest I have ever seen to original Luger grips in appearance and feel.
