Hi Dwight,

The grips are ivory and fit the gun precisely. It was a nice bonus they are valuable as well. But I don't collect lugers for investment value, but because I have a passion for the design and the history. If I never make a penny from them, I won't be less happy. But thank you for confirming the value of post-war ivory grips.

The gun looks far better with the original-style wood grips in place, but I usually keep the ivories on her out of respect for the WWII veteran who previously owned it. I think that is how he would have wanted it.
