If anyone has broken that chip and wants to repair it, I can give you the name/address of a craftsman that does an excellent repair and/or restoration. Send me a private message and I can relay the info.
I had a luger with its chip missing, and it looks like it never was...
If I ever sell this piece, I will inform the new buyer of that repair...
p.s. When looking over a luger that I am thinking of buying, I will just ask the seller to remove the grips for me.
When the gun belongs to me, I will only lift up the left grip high enough to clear the recess at the bottom of the frame and then I pull the grip downwards towards the bottom of the grip.
I thik alot of chips are caused when a grip is lifted up and continued to be lifted up until it is off the gun. It should be "slid off" off the gun, horizontally, in the direction of the bottom of the grip frame and magazine well opening.
Regards,
Pete...
