Other than the presence of markings on the inside of your grips, there are a couple other indicator to judge if your grips are FACTORY original to the pistol: If installed at the factory, the wood will NOT extend over the metal grip straps. Finally, the checkering of Mauser grips will be slight different with a wider flat central area, than DWM grips. See page 44 in Gibson's "The Kreighoff Parabellum", that is the only book that I'm aware of that compares the parts of the various manufacturers. TH
