Were hard rubber grips standard on Mauser C96, or put on by US importer??? (Or maybe by Mauser for importer???)

Pics of grips & tangent sight would be nice...

BTW: Sales records for this company appear to be available...for a price...

Edit: "The serial number that you entered (33009) is recorded in the Record Books." Woohoo!!!
