Marvin,

This pistol had the grips on it when I got it. The man that I bought it from told me he had just taken it from the safe deposit box a few months before he brought it to the gun show. I didn't think the grips were original Luger grips at first but after comparing with the detailed pics and text in Gibsons book on Krieghoff Lugers I came to the conclusion that they were correct for the Krieghoff Luger.

There were several thousand byf 42's that went to the Luftwaffe that weren't specifically marked as such, just standard Army Lugers. I have seen one more that was in this same configuration.
