Wood Grips vs. Plastic Grips - When

[bill m]

Hi again,

One other thing is the use of the magazines. There is a transition period from type 3 (122), to type 4 (fxo upside down), to type 5 (fxo right side up), to type 6 (black plastic) and they did not go on and on and on. They used each type of magazine up and they went on to the next type. Yes, there are stragglers now and then, but not large bunches. Everything is in order and follows order. That is what does not make sense about Weiss's comments, as they do not follow order, which I do not feel is correct. Just my observations and comments. Again, you have to have some sort of order to follow to learn how and when this stuff took place. This is mixing it all up, which would indicate that Mauser was on really short supply of materials and was using it as fast as it arrived. I can not believe they did not have a certain amount of reserve's on hand. I do not think it is a good idea to put this in the FAQ as fact, as I, and I'm sure a lot of other collectors do not agree with it, as the data of Lugers collected does not support this at all.
