Default Low quaility Repo Grips on Egun

http://egun.de/market/item.php?id=2710122
http://egun.de/market/item.php?id=2710132#img

I can’t believe the fascination generated by the swastika, I live in Germany where the public display of the swastika is illegal but it still draws attention. Egun has these two items listed and their only selling point seems to be what looks like a stamped or laser engraved Nazi eagle. Now I have no problem with replicas as long as they are sold that way, I have purchased a copy political leaders grips for my ppk knowing that I will probably never have the opportunity to get one. These two grips are just marketing the symbols and charging almost triple what new manufactured replacement grips would cost.

Does anyone know if the p-38 or the Luger had such grips?

These are modern, fantasy junk. Anybody with a cnc laser engraver can program a design like this

Here is a thread about similar grips;

Personally I think they're quite neat, but I'll prefer my initials or something instead.

I would like a set of the black Luger grips. If there is another set on there can you post the item number? Thanks in advance.

I believe Egun pulled these items. This could be because they are new and have no historical value. The Germans do have rules about what types of things can be made and sold with swastica's and these grips didn't meet this requirment.
