thx for your advices Big Norm, i will follow them.
regarding the woodgrips, i think 1915 there was no Waa stamp available, so i suppose the where not original WW I.
I always try to get the most original condition, so if it's not with matching numbers, i try to get parts from the same timeperiode and/or from the same factory.
thats why my interest is in gathering any available information about 1915 woodgrips and also in magazines.
i'm not shure what you mean with the million dollar break, which part of the grips will fail. every backside of the grip has many uprisings and slots milled into it. some of them are damaged at my gun, so the grips are a little bit slackly.
i post a picture of gripbackside, marked with arrows you can see the area the grip was misstreated, and the curved arrow points to to Waa 655 stamp...
hope to here from you, wolfganggo
