Vlim, Ice et al; I have a couple of sets of these poorly cast repro grips and am not sure if they are Portugese or Finnish, but have seen these with the shiney inside and 2 round depressions (not holes) on reworks from both countries, so they may have been supplied by the importer. They are not made by any US supplier that I'm aware of in the last 30 years and I've not seen them on Russian or DDR reworks that I've purchased from the imports in the same time frame. The only reference that I have seen written on the Portugese rework marking is in Costanzo's "WOL Proofmarks" related proofs #31 & 53. I have also seen these (kk/10 in a circle & M54 in cicle) mixed with "9 in a circle", KK/4, T" and several others primarily on extruded magazines with crude light wood bottoms and on unnumbered barrels that are replacements. Perhaps someone from FGS, who brough in a lot of Portugese lugers would like to comment. Also I think that you researchers might want to explore the Portuges/Finnish connection. TH
