Grips for Mauser P-08

OGN · 02-13-2007, 07:54 PM

Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum and like all the topics that come up about these handguns. I have a 1940 dated Mauser banner Luger that belonged to my uncle, which was taken off a German prisoner. When he passed away in 1993 it went to my father. He passed away in 2000 and now it's in my possession. When my father first aquired it, it had the original grips in rough shape and he replaced them with aftermarket repros and the originals were never found. I was firing it about a month ago and noticed that the corner area on the left grip behind the safety lever cracked and fell off. I don't know if it was due to poor inletting of the grip around the base of the safety and under recoil it broke, or something else. I just wanted to know if there are quality reproductions available that fit properly and where can I purchase them. My father had bought the ones that are on it at a gunshow for about 25.00 dollars so I know that you get what you pay for. My luger is about 70-75% condition on the finish and appears to be carried a lot more than it was shot, so having nice grips would really compliment this piece.
