Nope, Sorry Gentlemen, I disagree with all your fast answers. I believe a small quantity of these black lugers were produced specially for the SS and associated organizations. No way Mauser would retool just to produce a small percentage of black gripped lugers between 41 and 42 just to bum's rush them off to Portugal. That would have been far too costly and impractical. They would have used wood. Germans are notorious for their frugality. And Speer would have had no time or interest whatsoever for an insignificant amount of lugers.
