Grip Numbering Question
Hello All,
I am the owner of the byf42 Luger whose grips are in question in this thread.
I purchased this pistol from Joe Salter in June 2011. At that time I was still pretty 'green' in Luger collecting and I did not see a problem with the double numbering of the grip panels. I knew that there a lot of 'what if's' when it comes to Luger's but I did not question the markings of the grips at the time I purchased the rig from Salter.
As time has passed I would fully expect that a byf42 would have black plastic grip panels. I don't know if sometime in this pistol's life, for whatever reason, replaced with wood (if I knew everything I would have been born a woman). The replacement may have been by a unit's armorer.
The reason for this post is to assure anyone interested that I did not 'mess with' or alter these grip panels. This is how I received the pistol and I would not knowingly try to pass off something that is not correct.
Thank you for your time.
Bill
