I also purchased some grips from Vit. I bought the dark brown as they are very similar in color to what was on my Luger. My Luger is a shooter and bluing well worn, so shiny new wooden grips (I think) would just look strange.
I expect Vit is correct in his statement about fitting, as you had very little fitting to do, while fitting to my Luger (Mauser) "considerable" fitting was required. The grips were too wide and too long, and needed a bit of trim inside as well. They fit ok now; I really need to do a bit of fine tuning, but they work well and they look very similar to the original wooden ones. I did not measure them but they seem a bit thicker than the originals. From what I have seen Vit's grips are better than most but your experience fitting may vary.
