B W Grips

Hi Don H.,

I find it difficult to believe that the folks at FGS would have made a mistake with these and called them original when they were not. If yours are not original, then there are some repros out there that are even fooling very knowledgable folks...

You might want to look at some of the detailed photos in the following past message threads and compare these photos to your grips. When I saw your pair on the e-Bay auction I, too, thought they sure looked original.

1. In the "Luger Accessories" section, take a look at a discussion started on 10-12-2003 by Jack Lawman.

2. In the "P-08 Military Luger" section, take a look at a discussion started on 1-23-2003 by ToggleTop.

3. In the "P-08 Military Luger" section, take a look at a discussion started on 4-26-2004 by Nomadr.

Let us know what you see when you compare yours with these other BW grips...

I would be especially curious to know if the grips you have have the unique "swirling" machine patterns on the "islands" on the back side of the grip...as shown in some of the previous BW photos posted in these other discussions...

Here is a photo from one of the discussion :

And another :
