Jack, Sorry that I couldn't provide the Steyr FP. FYI, the first 60,000 of the Mauser Red Nines, didn't have the "9" branded on the grips, when they left the factory. Due to many soldiers trying to shoot these with 30 Mauser in the field, the factory started branding the grips in the 61K range and directives were issued to brand those already in the field. That is why many of the first 60K will be found with matching unbranded or crudely marked grips. It was as a result of these directives, that quite a few Artillery models, also ended up with "Red Nine" marked grips. Appearly, some of the rookies, branded anything with a long barrel in 9mm. TH
