Two statements:

1) There is no seperate black widow variation, so hard to say when it started...

2) There might be a considered black widow "type" by collectors, but I did not know there was a distinct date?

PS: In the FAq it states;
22) Black grips first came out when?

The black plastic grips did not come out until June of 1941 to the best of my knowledge, so anything before is a replacement. There were NO original black plastic grips issued with a 1940 Luger. No black plastic bases either, as they are all replacements when found with these models -- or have been added lately.
