Do you happen to have any photos of them handy.

Thanks!

They are resin cast, using original grips as a master, so they are the same thickness as originals. They do have a steel nut with the correct thread molded in, but they don't come with a screw. I have seen my fair share of poor repros, but these are actually as close to the originals as you can possibly get. The two sets I have used had a slightly dull finish, but after a light polish and wax (Mother's mag polish plus Meguiar's "Gold Class carnauba wax) you'd be hard pressed to tell that they're not original.

Here's a few pictures with the first one showing the panels before and after polish, the second picture showing a side by side comparison with an original panel. The last two pictures show the repros on a gun. These are modeled after the Posselt manufactured grips (used by Spreewerk), but they will look great on any P.38.
