[QUOTE Can anyone out there steer me to a source for some decent replacement grips. I know all this devalues the gun. But I have shot it and would like for it to be passed on in better shape.

It looks like the Luger was dolled-up a bit by the GI that sold it to your Dad, as the magazine isn't original to a byf either. Also, is the pistol still blued or is it in the white or chromed?

Anyway, for an excellent set of walnut German made (current production) grips, google a firm named NIL Grips. They are in Germany, but I've bought several sets from them. They aint cheap, but they are of high quality and are perfect replacement grips for a Luger pistol!!

I'll Google NIL grips and see what comes up! Thanks. It has the original factory blue but has worn spots where it was carried in a holster. May have seen lots of action.

Again for some reason Dad thought the grips need replacing as well as the end of the magazine. He went cheap and according to his friend who told how Dad got the pistol said he got those horrid Franzite grips back in 1950.

Dad died in 1959 and I was lucky to get the information on where he got the Luger. The information came from a friend of Dad's who kept a journal throughout his life and had written about it. The man who brought it from Germany, I have no information on.
