Either wood or black bakelite grips would be proper on your byf 42. If you remove the grips, be very careful when you remove the left grip as it is very easy to to chip the upper rear corner behind th safet. The grips should, but not always, have an eagle/135 stamp on them and, perhaps, the last 2 digets of the serial #. Again, the grips were not always stamped. If there is an eagle acceptance stamp that is not 135 or numbers that do not match the last two digets of the serial # on your gun, the grips were not issued with your pistol and are replace ments. If they are stamped with only a 42 then the are, no doubt, armourors(sp) replacements.
