Repro or Genuine?
 
I am thinking of purchasing the grips pictured below to replace a mismatched pair on my shooter:

The seller claims that these came off a Finnish DWM P08. The large uncheckered rim looks odd but they look quite nice. Are these a Finnish variation of the P08 grips or a repro?

Doesn't matter to me either way ;)

Repro. Made in Italy. Nice quality, made like the Swiss W+F but not cut for grip safety.

grips?
 
I've had a pair or two of those in the past, and they fit and feel good on most of the P.08s I've tried them on, look like original from somewhere, but there not..... waaaaay better then most of the cheapies that are out there!! Best to all, til...lat'r....GT

Nice Italian pair of repros...excellent for shooters. They turn up on e-Bay for $ 80 or so from time to time.

The border on these is also a bit more narrow than on the Swiss '24 Bern grips...

I have several pair of these, I believe they were made back in the 50's-60's. They fit as well as originals and Nil Grif"s.

Thanks guys, looks like they will be getting a new home in a few days :-)
