Hang on to the ivory grips, though. They may have historical value.

You can't go wrong with Jim's grips. He made me a wonderful set to my exact specs, even including non-traditional ornamentation. Normal Luger grips are a bit thin, so he made my grips thicker by my request, and they fit my hand very nicely. I wanted Rosewood instead of the usual Walnut - Jim came through!

His checkering alone is a work of art - when I had a pair of non-Luger grips I wanted checkered, I sent 'em to Jim. They came back drop dead gorgeous! I can NOT say enough good about Jim's workmanship and attention to detail. Top notch in my book.

Ivory?
" But worst than not having a story to go with the pistol was the fact that it was wearing mother of pearl grips when I open the box. I thought maybe the original grip were in the box. No such luck."
