The swastika grips are a fantasy item. Someone ruined what looks like a fine pair of original grips to make them by adding those badges... too bad. Even though they appear to be original and matching numbers to the gun, since thay are modified, they detract from the value IMHO. The pistol was made in later part of 1937 after the change from strawed small parts to blued finish.
