This is a strange

That's a new one. I can't imagine any normal travel conditions that would in any way warp bakelite.

I hate to be a negative guy, but could the new owner have needed an extra grip for a pistol of his that had a warped one?

Bakelite does not warp.

I bought two sets of VoPo Bakelite grips from CDS in Germany--one for my 9mm 1917/20 IDPA shooter, and one for G.T. and his drum-testing Luger. G.T.'s black grips were pristine. Mine were mottled dark brown, and the right one had seriously warped and twisted. I wouldn't have thought them capable of being deformed in this way, but this one was. I will not admit how, right now, but I got it to lie acceptably flat on the frame. Did they leave the factory that way, or suffer a mishap? If damaged since new, what could have caused it?
