Where to purchase authenic Luger Grip?
 

Some of you may have noticed that the left grip on the 1927 DWM Police Luger I posted below was broken off at the upper right corner under the safety. Apparently a common malidy.


Does anyone have a source for a genuine replacement, not a new reproduction, but something worn in approx. the same manner.


TIA.

Hans

Without doing gunshows, recommend you contact Hugh Clark or T. Heller, if they don't have them they know where to find them, Thor also, sets are always coming up on ebay. Hard to tell by pictures sometimes though. In the links there is the "want to buy section" .

WOL Grips...
 

Ralph Shattuck's WOL's lists some German replicas for $ 75.00.


Has anyone seen these ?

Sorry, I guess I could just crop the grips out so people could see a pair of Nills. Thor

I think he is using the Nill Grips too, they do fit the best. Thor

Fix the one you have
 

You have acquired a nice Luger at a reasonable price. If the grip matches the gun (or even if it doesn't) in my opinion it would be better to spend the money on having it repaired. I'll bet Art can make a repair that you would have a hard time detecting, and the grips would stay in character with the gun. Just my $0.02.

Re: Fix the one you have
 

I agree with Ron! However, I have seen Hugh find a grip that matches another before! He is a amazing too! Thor

Thanks for the help John. Ya'll are not the support group I need to keep this "affliction" under control. My lawnmower won't start, my 85 Dodge PU is in the shop (again), I need a new roof on the house & garage, my wife is not friendly when the gun subject comes up, she's also learning to tell them apart so I can't use the "I've had that one for years" deal and the "I nearly died from the Humvee" is getting a little old. Show a little pity.

My recent 1936 Mauser shooter has a butchered left grip, evidently a previous owner had small hands and was trying to reduce the size--the right one is perfect. I've ordered a replacement set from Ajax. If the Ajax grips are OK, I may have a right grip for sale or trade or ?

Art...any chance to show a before and after picture of your grip repair job ? I'll volunteer a grip with the " million dollar" chip. ;>)

Re: Where to purchase authenic Luger Grip?
 

Marilyn--I have scanned some grips with fixed chip. Now not smart enough to post it with this message. If you want to provide the grip--I will scan it before fix and again after. At the risk of advertising here as some seem to do--[I am certainly not looking for more work] I will fix your qrip "on the house" to use as an example. I will send scan of 2 fixed grips to seriously interested folks via email attachment. Thanks for your interest MM. Marilyn---you are new to the forum aren"t you? Wife and I have good friend with that name and your post made me think of her. Let me know if you want an email scan and your grip fixed.

Re: Where to purchase authenic Luger Grip?
 

Art, thank you for your generous offer, I will gladly send you my grip for an example of before and after....Yes, I'm new to the Forum; I've only been collecting for a few years and have been a little shy to join in the Forum surrounded by such knowledge collectors. However with the advice to other newbies, I'm encouraged to come out of the "fringe" and ask some questions about a couple of lugers that I've aquired on a separate thread or maybe you can help me identify a Mauser Eagle I've acquired, via e- mail?

I am glad John gave you a nice
 

welcome, we do like to see new memebers. Many times people drop by and then we don't hear from them, and you might have something that really interests us! An unusual Luger variation, a marking on a holster that is interesting, etc. Or like me, I have a few run of the mill Lugers and can learn before I buy a more expensive gun.


History, history of the guns is the cool thing.
