I was reading your recent article with interest. Unfortunately in this day and age you get precisely what you pay for, no more, but quite often less.
We are supplied by a German manufacturer not Nill Griffe, but an independent who manufacture Top quality walnut Luger P08
fitting grips finely chequered and the nearest possibly you will ever find comparing with an original pair today.

Before launching our business back in 1987 we carried out some in depth market research. What we found was that collectors wanted quality - but frequently did not want to pay for it. For example Sarco supply Indian made Luger grips which many Luger Gun owners are content with to dress up a pistol re-incarnated from possibly a supply of mismatched spare parts etc.
For every 100 pair of grips Sarco sell - the quality grips will only sell 20 - the answer is easily worked out by oneself.
So may I suggest to any collectors seriously setting out to replace or dress up there investment Luger. To please fit it with a pair of grips that will look like the part that were originally made for this wonderful pistol.
Thank you for reading our post.
