Luger Plastic Grips

[G.T.]

Hi Patrick, the element that makes Bakelite shine is mercury! (Yep! That's one way to tell original Mauser black plastic grips, shinny borders!)That is one of the reasons no one wants to mess with it, as the E.P.A. has strict guidelines on the use and disposal of this type of material!! Also the presses and moulding machines for this type of material are obsolete, and it is hard to find a facility that has the capibility to process Bakelite......To bad though! As it is a neat plastic! till...later...G.T.
