Hello Sieger,

Thank you for your comment. I must admit that I had not thought about the grips much and I agree that the majority of them were more rounded than on my model. In a "tongue in cheek" defence of that I have a copy of official drawings showing both the curvier and flatter topped versions.

This "flat" version drawing is from Mauser Werke A.G., Obendorf, and has the number 1MD06-61 - that might be complete, or not, as the edge of my drawing is missing. It has a definite flat top with plain borders and the chequering does not start until some distance in from the edge.

There is also seen a version used on the Russian front that was flat topped, straight "grooved" and made out of Bakelite plastic - see attached image.

I might revisit the grips with a view to creating a "proper" rounded version with edge to edge chequering.

Thank you for your input.

Regards,

Dave
