Sieger,
I have never seen anything in print about "offically" produced aluminum grips. Without provenance, I would think this falls into the class of a Luger wive's tale...
The few aluminum grips (for any gun, not just Lugers)I have seen looked like some machinists personal pet project instead of something that was in production... Do your "luftwaffe" grips have any kind of stamps on them that would lead you to believe that there were official issue. Even so I would be skeptical...
Could you post some good clear photos of both sides your aluminum grips for us all to examine?
Has anyone else seen anything else about this from a reliable reference source?
