BYF42, I've run into these plexiglass grips with photos inside on several types of Nazi era pistols (Radoms, FNHPs, FN22s, etc. I think that they were added during the war by the German soliders to replace damaged or ill fitting wood grips (yours should probably have the last two digits of the serial stamped inside, if original to this pistol) but I doubt that they were made from "aircraft canopies" which would be much thicker. Probably from scrap shipping containers of some type. TH
