The grips USUALLY have the last 2 numbers of the serial number stamped inside of the grips, but you have to sometimes have to look very hard to see them.
Grips can usually be tightened by placing a tiny fiber or rubber washer on the grip screw prior to insertion.
But if that gun is missing the side plate, it matters not if the grips match the original gun, it's a shooter.
Many of us prefer the WW2 guns for shooters for metal strength reasons.
If you pay $700 for this one, spend $100 plus on the sideplate, you'll already be behind the 8-ball.
But then the search never ends.
