I don't think it has ever been established on where the origin is for the vertically "checkered" grips, but it is believed to be eastern bloc post war... It could even be a sub standard issue for VOPO...

Perhaps someone else can come up with a reference for these grips with a little more authority and my aging memory...

I do have a set of these grips, but don't use them... they are not as comfortable in my hand as the VOPO Bullseye or Black widow reproductions.
