Sweetheart Grips

Very nice. I imagine the gun was bought back by your grandfather?

There was a pair of those grips that where just sold on E-bay. I missed out.I thought they would look good on my WW2 nickeled vet bring back DWM.
It would be like a poor mans luger BBQ gun.
How does the magazine thumb rest not interfere with the picture?

There actually is a small tear in the picture where the magazine thumb rest has hit the photo but it is about the size of a Pea. My Grandfather did bring the gun back and the pictures have been in place ever since then. I was always told that my Grandfather had made the grips out of aircraft windshield but upon further inspection I think he purchased them for the gun. The backs of the grips are machined out allowing the magazine to slide in, the tear in the picture is near the bottom however inside the machined section.

I will take some closeup photo's of the grips to add to this thread this weekend and put the details of the gun in the New Collectors Forum. The pistol is all original, all matching numbers including the Magazine.
