I have bought several sets of grips from this seller, ranging from workable to excellent. As already mentioned, the repro is only as good as the master you use to make the mold, but it seems like this guy can make perfect grips if he has access to good originals. For example: The grips for Radom, Sauer 38H and P.38 are excellent, but the PP grips are cast from a worn, bowed original set and not very good at all.

My only complaint would be that the resin he uses has a slightly dull look to it, but I have found that they are fairly easy to polish. Here's a picture of one original P.38 panel, and one from Vit-Zemanek (after polish). It takes a keen eye to spot the repro.
Yes, I mean Vit-Zemanek. Looks like I am ordering a set from him.

Sheepherder, those look to be junk! How could you "proudly" put your name on that?
