Brandon, Untill further notice I wouldn't worry that your grips are fake. They show all the charecteristics of good Krieghoff grips and none of being fake so far...

I have to disagree with the good Padre..He is welcome to spend his money any way he wants but shooting an all matching pistol like yours is inviting disaster. One broken numbered extractor or holdopen and the value is diminished considerably. Find yourself a shooter if it's something you want to run a lot of rounds through. Then you can feel comfortable if an extractor breaks that it is no problem to simply replace it.
All matching Lugers are not something to abuse in my opinion.
