But you're right to worry about the black grips. And, you may have noticed the Type 6 magazine as well.

The m-block was late in the year so it may have had Walnut grips or perhaps the Brown Bakelite grips that Mauser got from HK.

The magazine would have been a Haenel 122 coded with Eagle 37 proofs and an aluminum base.

But, grips crack and are replaced and magazines get lost.

A great looking gun and an even greater story.

Thanks for sharing.

However this is a late production and i think that this pistol has leaved the factory with this grips? The pistol is not much used, why should they change the grips?
