Johnny, folks were talking about Hugh, he goes by Hugh on the forum (see 1916 Erfurt he just sold in the last day or so).

I would get the smaller priority mail box, cost $4.05 to ship, wrap the grips in small bubble wrap individually and tape around them. It would be hard for them to get damaged, taking them off is more likely to damage them. Take off the grip screw, then gently push from inside with a finger and pry gently from the outside with your thumb or finger. Sometimes they stick and you can break them, esp the corner by the top, so take your time.

You could just use paint remover, although this is rough on the wood, I use orange smelling paint remover, it is fairly gentle, that and an old toothbrush, of course off of the luger.

Let them completly dry, then;

Well, they will look bad afterwards, but then you put on linseed oil and they look nice.
