Erfurt/DWM grips query

Lugerdoc · 01-04-2003, 11:57 AM

John, The major differences between DWM & Erfurt military grips (both will be numbered with the last 2 digits of the serial number) are that the Erfurt's will also have an Imperial inspector's mark (crown over a letter) stamped inside and the later Erfurt grips are sometimes not checkered all the way down to the grip straps. As a less expensive alternative, I do have both the German made NIL grips @$75 and Indian made course checker repros @$25 available. Both of these come slightly over sized in lenght and must be fitted to your luger, but at least you don't have to worry about them being loose, as can happen with originals that may have shrunk over the years.
