Any thought on this Humpback 1914?

I like this one, but I am not sure its correctness.

Without 1914 specific knowledge, simply from the gun's general view, the grip and grip screw look standing out unbalanced in the whole picture. So let's putting grips aside, anything else incorrect, or suspicious on this rare pistol from this single left side view? Your opinion is appreciated!

Duane,

Judging from a single photo it looks correct to me. Fire blued trigger and grip screw looks okay also.

Nice pistol. collectorfirearms.net s/n 1239 does look good (with a little reservation on the side plate finish from the pix). They also carried an ordinary 1914 (4-digit s/n early one, but not a humpback) in the past, which I liked so much, but I missed that one.

I know absolutely nothing about the little Mausers, but saw this one while I was checking out Astra's...
