Interesting Grips

Doubs · 06-24-2002, 10:31 PM

To me, the pistol appears to be an East German rework. All of the normally strawed parts have been blued, a common mark of the E. German reworked pistols. (I'm not sure if the Russian capture pistols were also blued completely.) Luke has identified the grips as Eastern European (East German, likely) copies of the "Black Widow" grips made during WW2. I have a set of plastic E. German grips on a rework Luger but mine has the bullseye on them and are sometimes associated with the "VOPO" or E. German Secret Police.
