Aluminum Grips
 

I picked these up off Ebay and thought I'd post FYI. Reading past postings, there seemed to be speculation on them being made by a local parts maker from pot metal in a mold made from a set of wooden grips to a custom grip maker's project. These included an article that they were made in France as replacement parts. They don't have any markings and seem to be made from a mold of a wooden set out of aluminum - not pot metal. They also do not include a gap for the grip safety as found on some Franzite grips. They fit nicely and look kind of nifty, but as they say 'the truth is out there'...

Looks pretty cool!!! :D

Never hear that in France : it would be interesting where found was this info
Steel grips only on french P38
All French P.08 are found with beech grips and eagle 135

WOW, that is pretty cool!

I have been looking for a good pair for years...

I think they would have been even nicer if they had used the byf 41 bakelite grips as the model for the aluminum mold instead of a well worn wooden set of grips!
