I agree with Ed that if genuine these are likely late war or post war replacement grips...

Your grips appear in the photos to be covered with some type of wax or oil? When the real ones have honest wear on them they don't usually look as shiney as your photos...

The reproduction BW grips that can be found for $25 or less (or more if you are being ripped off by an auction scam artist) do not usually have such clean mold linesas yours...and the checkering seems to be the result of injection molding in a mold cast from genuine grips...

At first glance, from their construction and checkering yours appear to be genuine grips, but I need to see a sharp focus closeup with little glare on the inside of the left grip, in particular the area circled in Red... to be more certain.

BTW, Nice Luger too!
