Black plastic mag bases

Mike B · 08-30-2009, 09:00 AM

Greetings,
I have a 1940 dated 42 code with black plastic grips and a matching aluminum bottom mag. The grips are the correct type for the year and certainly look original to me.

Hi All, for those that have 1939, 1940 or early 1941 Military Mauser Lugers with Black "Bakelite" Grips and wish to think they are original, so be it.

HOWEVER, there is absolutely no proof they were installed by the Mauser Factory. They easily could be armorer replacements or replaced post war.
