Checkering on Luger grips

Olle · 12-12-2016, 05:25 PM

I just ran across a nice set of repro Luger grips, they seem to be correctly made, nice wood and they fit well but the checkering is a bit coarse. It's only 16 lpi, which is less than I can recall seeing on any Luger grips.

So is this just another aftermarket boo-boo, or did any Luger grips come with such coarse checkering?

The Dutch Vickers had course grips. Bill

Hmm... that narrows down the uses for these grips then.

I guess they'll go on one of my shooters anyway, I was just curious.
