Hello All! Nice topic and some great comments. As for me, I think I can identify an original set of Black Bakelite Luger Grips. Those appear as shown by Pete's Photos, with some variation in the placement of the threaded holes. Some grip panels have one threaded hole and some have two.
Now having said that, ToggleTop's argument certainly has merit, in regards to other potential configurations that may also be "original"!
I am not from Missouri, but unless someone can prove which other configurations are "original", I will stick to the data I already have researched!
My 2�¢ worth!!
