Only required filing on the inside of the bottoms until they fell into place. Really feel good in your hand. I would recommend if you want to replace wood grips for any reason.

These seem to fit very good. Cheap too. I might reconsider my quest for custom wood replacements. I know all 'replacements" are just that, replacements, but somehow (in MY mind) my Imperial Erfurt calls for wood, not plastic. I don't know, still torn about this.

I would never put plast grips, however good ad cheap, on an Erfurt.

Yeah, ....this DOES NOT work for me.

Thank you guys,....you just made up my mind. My Erfurt Parabellum will wear custom made wood grips for shooting. Jim Solomon is working on the design as we speak, and between two of us, I'm sure we can come up with something "custom" (I don't want just plain "replacements",....looking for some custom engraving,....something that will make my pride and joy "mine").

That might look nice, but I am not considering refinishing it. It's in perfect working order, with "been there, done that" kind a look. All I want to do is preserve the original grips, and fit something "special" for shooting/carry.

Buona serata Sergio. Tendo a concordare con voi, Mi e stato strappato circa questo per un certo periodo di tempo, e ho appena non puo farmi I'installazione di impugnature in plastica sul mio Parabellum.

Siamo spacienti. Il mio Italiano e arruggnito, e'stato molti anni fa ero di stanza a Trieste.
