Questions About My Well-Worn Plexiglass Handled Luger

Interesting piece. I'd not change anything. The grips are likely GI made. Perhaps done in the field. Maybe even painted in the field. My father made a set of clear sweetheart grips for a WWI Izarra he picked up in France. After the war, in '48, he bought the Luger he always wanted (35 bucks including a box of ammo) and inspired by the first grips he made, he made grips for the Luger but used laminated strips of different colored Lucite. He painted the backside silver. It's just a shooter, though, as it's been polished a bit and reblued.
