The grips "appear" to be genuine, but I would require much sharper focus photographs and closeups of the "positioning islands" on the back to be sure. The back of the grips have quire a bit more "shine" than I am used to seeing, but that may be because they were wiped down with gun oil before being photographed instead of being mold related. ...despite the fact that there are threaded holes on the insides, I cannot be positive that they are genuine with these photos. If they are not reproductions, they are a REAL close copy of a set of originals... Sorry I can't be more positive for you...
Jerry Burney (lugerholsterrepair) needs to pass judgement on the holster... but it looks almost too good to be true to me... The mags are correct, as is the tool. The barrel has a minimum dimension bore 8.81mm (that's a good thing) and is indicative of the care Mauser used during this production run.
The gun has no suffix under the serial number on the grip frame in front of the trigger guard... must be one of the first production series for 1941...
Also on the bright side, the seller has 9 positive feedbacks, and nothing negative...
