In China, the five-toed dragon was symbolic of the Emperor, and could not be used by anyone else. Lesser officials got away with dragon decorations by portraying dragons with fewer toes.
I have a pair of smooth ivory grips for a P08 (cannot use them on my current 1906 shooting Luger, drat!), they are the most comfortable and inviting grips I have felt on any gun, ever.
