I have a 1940 "42" All Matching (maybe 60% finish) Luger.

[ Interesting side line > the gun has minor pitting on the side of the frame, that my gunsmith says is characteristicly similar to the type caused by "BLOOD" >> HMMM.....]

I have had it for 40 years.

I am not a collector, but I love this pistol and enjoy shooting it.

I shoot it regularly and It hardly ever malfunctions.

It has black "plastic" grips.

I am sure they are "original" and in "good" condition.

I would like to replace them with "Wooden" grips.

Again, I am a "Shooter" not a Collector"

Where can I get an inexpensive (repro is fine) pair of good quality grips.

Anybody interested in a "trade" ?

On a slightly different (but related subject):

What ARE "Black Widow" 'S?

How (if at all) are they different from the "Bakelite" grips I have?

Not a collector

Just a lover.
