WG, it was posted earlier. The consensus was that the grips were crooked and most likely fake. It is interesting, don't mind bringing up the subject again

Cool Ed, to bring this discussion up again. (Thinking out loud a bit) With all the fakes out there, I've always wondered since the Nazi regime was so big on visual symbolism (uniforms, symbols, even elaborate dress daggers etc.) Why that never transferred over into things such as the grips in question?
