I ordered a pair of black plastic luger grips about 10 days ago and received them today. They are well made and appear very well on my 42 byf luger. I gave $21 plus shipping for the pair and installed them on the luger this afternoon. (The original wooden panels I just removed are well fitted to the luger and are good and snug. There is a "C" stamped on the back side of each wooden panel. Would anyone know the meaning of the C stamp?)
Anyway back to the black plastic grips. The rib on the top of the right plastic panel is just a bit too thick to fit into the milled recess of the frame. I believe a little careful work with a fine file could narrow the rib thin enough to fit into the recess. After I fit the right panel into the recess, I'll take some pics of the 42 byf and my 41 byf for comparison of the two. The 41 byf is 100% original with original black Bakalite grip panels. I have original P08 black leather holsters dated 1941 and 1942 for each luger.
