Luger Armorer Grips

PalmTree2 · 08-03-2017, 05:08 PM

Hello Guys,

Did any Mauser armorer replacement grips exist during the war that were marked as such?

What were the markings? Anyone have pics?

Thank you,
Mitch

Yes.
They would be "plain" inside, except for an acceptance/mfg marking.
I have seen :
S/42
42
WaA 136, 655, maybe 63

Could also have another letter or two.

I have some on pistols, but I don't recall which ones!

Hi Don,

Thanks. The ones I saw had E/655 on each panel, and one had a backwards "E", or maybe upside down. the other had an "X". All stamps were die struck, neat and clean.

Sound correct?

Thanks,
Mitch

Yes,
the letters are workers marks or some such.
