A question re: "9" marked grip Artillery Lugers

Personally, I think that over the 90 or so years, the grips may have been changed from one artillery to another for appearance sake. While the theory that the armoures engraved them certainly sounds plausable, who knows what new owners did to the grips over the years. Maybe not fakery, maybe just the switching of a one set of broken grips to a nicer set. Many people just wanted to pretty up their Lugers.
