rttwlrby,
What you state is true, but the Waffenfabrik USA folks have been able to closely duplicate threaded holes in the fakes... it takes a close inspection at high resolution images to be able to tell the fakes from the real thing... technology is our friend ...and our enemy as it becomes more available and cheaper... What they haven't been able to reproduce (so far!) is the actual material and the affects of age on the material... fake grips look too new to be 60 years + old... and I guess figuring out how to recreate the original material costs more than they are willing to spend... it is much easier to make something close that will fool the unknowledgeable and make a fast buck ( or a couple of hundred) and then slip back under the rock they came out from under...
