Hello Ron & Jerry,

I think these are the later brown, coarse checkered grips HK used on lugers after they stopped using the Ritzmann grips...(going from memory, around the late S-codes and in 1936-37...).

It is also rumored that these brown coarse grips were made by the same supplier as the Black Widow grips Mauser started using later...think this is mentioned in the R. Gibson book, but I cannot check since I am away from my books for the next 1-2 days...

I have reposted my photos of the Ritzmann grips below :





Regards,

Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
