Plastic Grips

wlyon · 06-30-2006, 05:16 PM

These black plastic grips are on a 41 Byf that I have had for 30+ years. Looking at Gibson's Krieghoff book, these appear to be a type found on at least one 44 Krieghoff. The holes on the back are threaded. Any ideas?

I agree that these are the 1944 KH type grips, but Vintage Grips does offer repros of this type, so originality is hard to tell from a photo. TH

Tom Any idea how long Vintage grips has been making these? I have had them at least 30 years. Thanks Bill

Bill, I'm not sure, but probably not that long ago. Tom

Tom Thank you. Do you have any Krieghoff mags for sale ? Bill

I agree that these are the KH type grip... their originality would require a close examination by the KH expert like John D... but I am fairly certain that Vintage grips has not been in business for 30 years...

Bill,

Have you tried Mike Krause in San Mateo, CA for an HK magazine ?

He and his wife recently had one in the 55xx serial range on auction on e-Bay. Here is the link to that previous auction :
