Ted, I hope not! I think what Zorba means might be the same that struck me when I first looked at the pics of these two beautiful guns--the grip with the rounded upper front corner hanging out. I'd likely pronounce this a repro grip panel, left to my own. Am I mistaken?

Until I got to the latest posts, which I've addressed above, I'd intended to post something, throwing down with Douglas in his mention of a book of your work. Not only would it be eye candy for the Luger-droolers and any firearms enthusiast, alike, but I get the impression you have more wisdom to pass on than restoring Parabellum pistols. I'll bet you could spawn a most interesting tome!
