I originally bought some repro items. Almost universally the quality is not good or as good as originals. The tool bent on me, the holster was too tight, (even if you take into consideration that it should be tight when new).

And actually, on e-bay or from members, or from other websites, you see all of these for sale, sometimes expensive, sometimes reasonable.

For the grips, do you want "shooter" grips? Then buy some east german ones, and a tool could be the same thing, made on orginal manufacturing machines and to specifications.

Repros won't go up in value, real will, even if not in the best of shape...
