Runningiron,
I do not think original P08 grips will work on the new Mauser frame. The contour of the originals by the grip screw is curved while on the Mauser the cut is straight. The curve on the heel of the grip could be sanded straight, but the curve on the toe of the grip does not have enough wood to extend far enough down in staight line to make a full Mauser grip. Part of the frame would be exposed. I do not have a new Mauser to verify this observation, so I could be wrong.
