Anytime I see aluminum construction for grips, my first inclination is Mexican manufacture... at least in my experience... the only german produced grips I have seen made out sheet aluminum were P.38 grips... I don't remember if they were prototypes (cause they were running out of materials for plastic), or if they were limited quantity production grips.

These grips of course would have been post-WW2 commercially made.
