Plexiglas grips
Just for info: [from old posting]
During WW-2, there was a craft common among the guys in the US Air Corp. [almost a cottage industry].... It was the making of genuine 'Plexiglas' grips for all types of pistols. Usually, they would have gold foil and/or photos of females, [including movie stars] under the glass. Connoisseurs would claim that Messerschmidt Plexiglas was better than US for that purpose.
Also, the same craftsmen were making 'clip-on' watch bands of aluminum from aircraft 'skin'.
If you acquire some...don't throw them away. Just like the shoulder holsters that all the GI's wanted,[and had made by local craftsmen] these are legitimate pieces of history from that period even if not original with the gun or watch.
