Hi David, welcome to the forum.

Is your pistol in 9mm or .30 Luger caliber? Is there a script letter under the serial number on the front of the frame (just above the trigger guard)? Is the top of the receiver blank or stamped with a year?

What's your reference to 1930's Mauser grips for Lugers? I'd be interested in details.

DWM and Mauser produced both military and commercial Lugers. In both cases the grips were ambidextrous. They were flat profiled and without thumb rests.

The "Germany" stamping was used on Lugers exported to the US for commercial sale.

Without pictures, I'd guess it was a 1920's Alphabet Commercial pistol in .30 Luger. They were made in the early and mid 1920s.

A left handed buyer into target shooting may have replaced the grips for better feel and handling. Being Left Handed, I'd enjoy seeing them!

Marc
