Trying to get a grip!

[ithacaartist]

I received a couple sets of these among the things I ordered (another story all by itself) from CDS. They fit my 1917 DWM with no problem aside from shaving a hair from inside the bottom notch, just ahead of the grip screw. http://www.asamnet.de/%7Eehrenred/zu...iffschalen.jpg

60 Euros seems a fairly low/mid-range price. Adding expense of the export permit and a cut for my contact in Deutschland, plus shipping, brings them here for roughly $80. VoPo and those hideous, corrugated Russian grips also available. http://www.asamnet.de/%7Eehrenred/zubehoer/gs.htm

Hi David! I just might be your huckleberry on those grips? Do you have a spare set to sell as i would like to monkey around with them? Maybe if they work out, we could split an order... Best, til....lat'r...GT

Hi Tom, its hard to tell sometimes, but it seems to me that most Mauser grips are angular around the edge, and flat on the main part, where DWM has a nice smooth radius transition. The checkering on early DWM is a bit more fine than later manufacture, and the color more often light golden brown, where'as Mauser are usually darker reddish brown? With the exception of late byf grip sets which are kind of yellow. I'm beginning to think the fit is the best way to tell, because they sure don't seem to interchange very easily. best to all, til.....lat'r....GT

Hiya, G.T.

I've been meaning to ship you a box of goodies/projects that could use your hand, so how about I put a set of grips in there and we can work something out?
