Black Widow Original Grips

Ted,

The Black grips found on the BYF41,42 pistols should have

a hole in the back of each grip. This hole will also be threaded and so happens will accept the grip screw.

Info from Gibsons book Krieghoff Parabellum also states that these grips appear to be made from a derivative of coal, whereas the Krieghoff Brown grips are from petroleum.

From looking at a pair of repro black grips and a pair off of a Portugese contract BYF42, the repros have a much more shiny/smoother appearance than the originals do, not to mention the molds are different.

Regards,

SteveM
