Original "Black Widow" Luger Grips - a photo study

[lugerholsterrepair]

John, Thanks for your excellent photo's.


While the threded holes in the back of the grips have not been substantiated anywhere in German manuals I think the proof is in the methods. Without the holes there is no way to remove the grips from the molds they were made in. On subsequent grips that do not have the holes there are gouge marks where the holes should be where the grips were pried out. The grip screw theory is pretty self evident as the threded holes are exactly like the grip screws and you have to admit this is a handy place for the grip screws! Maybe someday this will appear in print...Thanks again. Jerry Burney
