Hi Ron,
Some time ago I said I'd get you a photo of these hand carved ivory grips on this AE 1900 s.n. 13729. They are identical pattern both panels with slight variation in carving, with leather spacers between grip screws and ivory. There are no maker marks. My father acquired it like this in 1939, in family since. Wonder if anyone has seen similar? The magazine is not original, being an Imperial marked Erfurt # 557 no suffix. Cheers and thanks, Don
