Russian grips?

Correct, still no definite origin of these grips is known but they are found on pistols that come from former Eastern Block storage. Since they follow the lines of the grips on the Tokarev pistols I have nicknamed them the 'Tokarev Style Grips'.

They differ greatly from the DDR grips which are made of bakelite and are hollow inside. These 'Tok Style' grips are massive, quite a good fit and rather comfortable, which makes me think they were issued or meant to be issued at a certain point in time. They stand far away from the poor quality injection molded black grips you find on other Eastern-Block imports, those are only there to give the pistols grips for a quick resale.
