Luger grips serial numbers

Frank et al, According to military marking instruction, the grips SHOULD be numbered. I doubt that there were long periods that the instructions were not followed, but workers do sometimes make mistakes. Probably more frequently grips would break and be replaced or upgraded by collectors. Certainly, grips with the wrong numbers, are not original issue. Unless fitted by someone very knowledable, one can usually spot a replaced grip by the fit and/or checkering profile. TH
