Re: Multiple Vendors????? (Long)
It's interesting that you mention P38s.
I know of at least three different grip type variations plus the final steel grip panels. The red type bakelite, a nearly black bakelite and black plastic.
Of the grips in the pictures, the ones on the left are heavier than the ones on the left.
My guess is that the all bakelite material grips were subcontracted out to various vendors. Costume jewelry makers for example.
