1941-2 Luger Black Widow Grips

Yes those test will prove Bakelite for sure. Problem is there are grips out there that are not correct and not German Military that appear to be Black Widow grips and they ARE made of Backlite! Pretty easy to spot once you know what to look for and they are a bit too crude to fool anyone that studies the subject. I believe these false grips were made early post war for who knows what reason, but way too early to be an outright modern fake grip made for monetary gain. These are documented on the Jan Still Forum Black Widow grips sticky.
