Question on bakelite grips

Karl, here is the OP's original post in "New Collectors": https://forum.lugerforum.com/showthread.php?t=41947

In there he doesn't indicate that the pistol was sold to him as a Russian capture but the subsequent discussion includes the information that the grips are Russian replacements. IMO, the OP is commenting on that and not that the Luger was sold to him as such.

The OP can clear up the issue.
