P08 grips with a border

[mrerick]

When the Swiss W+F armory began making their own Lugers in Switzerland in 1918, they used this bordered style of grips.

The much less expensive (to make) plastic canevasit orange/red grips were introduced on the M1929 Luger they made, followed by more robust ones in brown and other color plastic that are not as prone to breaking.

Here's my W+F Swiss Luger sporting it's original grips. Notice there is no border along the top or bottom of the grip, only on the sides.

For those interested, the Swiss blueprints for these grips are included as bonus drawings in the P.08 Blueprint CD that I sell... Send me a PM if you wish to buy the set...
