Default Replacement grips?

How many would be interested in grips shown. I am considering selling these for one of the European manufacturer but need to know if there is a market for these. Price would be around $150 mark.

They look nice, but personally, I think the price mark is a little high for machine made grips... and the fit to the frame would have to be VERY good right out of the box to command such a high price. If I were you, I would post individual good focus closeups of each type of grip and also display them on a Luger... That might get you much more response to your inquiry.

I know what you saying. As a matter of fact I am going to IWA 2011 in Nürnberk next week so I can check quality myself. I already have fantastic looking SIG P210 grips and fit and finish is in every aspect equal to original. Geometry is even better. Luger grips I will bring with me first batch so I will be able to justify quality first hand. Problem is I only have one Luger, and frames are slightly different from model to model.

Then make arrangements with some of your member friends here on the forum to check the fit on various model frames they own once you have some sample grips.

You should pay for shipping both ways since this is a business endeavor on your part.

I would be more than willing to check the fit for you on a 1937 S/42 Mauser frame and a 1914 Erfurt artillery model and then send them back to you with photos.

I am sure others would be more than willing to do the same just for the opportunity to examine the new grip line first hand, and they could do a review with photos on the forum.
