legend of the Black Widow

SOMEONE PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM MISTAKEN, but I believe that we have established on this Forum several times that no black grips were installed on Lugers until the "U" block of the 1941 byf model.

If this is true, then the only Lugers which could be legitimate "Black Widows" are:

1941-byf "U" block and later, and

1942-byf, all blocks.

I suppose that armorers could have installed the black Bakelite grips on earlier Lugers during rework operations.
