Gentlemen,
all my fears have been cast aside. I received the repared grips from the seller today. It turns out that the sellers son is not just a woodworking guy. He spent two years at Trinity college in Colorado studying gunsmithing and his current second job is repairing gun wood stocks. He did a GREAT job on the repair of my grips. The break is not perceptible on the outside and only the finest of inspecting could detect the fine crack line on the inside. Also important is the fact that they fit the navy Luger great.

I guess that today is my lucky day. I bought the below grips off of Ebay. I thought that I should have my head examined when I bid on them. But I received them today and they are better than I had expected. The picture on Ebays auction do not do the grips justice. The Imperial Eagle was not cut into the grips. The background was and the eagles are the high relief with a touch of white paint on them.

Now comes the problem. What gun do I put them on. I have a nice chamber dated 1914 DWM artillery that came with repro grips on it. I had put some nice 'Red Nine' grips on it and they looked great. But when I put these Imperial Eagle grips on it, all I could say was "WOW!". This artillery Luger is as mocho macho as a Luger can get. No pearl or tiger wood griped pimp gun here. Now maybe a snail drum and a stock. It can't get any better. Oh! And a digital camera for everyone else to eat their hearts out when they see the assembly.
