They look good to me; lets see what others have to say.

These do look like the "could" be genuine, but the rough interior photo makes me hesitant to pronounce them as genuine. Genuine grips are know for their exquisite finish, even on the inside. The cloudy appearance of the inside of these grips makes me wish I could handle them in person to be sure. The reproductions of these grips are often made from castings of genuine grips and the unpolished appearance of the inside of the repro's is a dead giveaway.

Perhaps if the insides were cleaned (like the outsides appear to have been) it would be easier to determine.

Sorry I can't stake my rep on the fact that they are genuine... just too hard to tell.

IMO they are original and what I call Type 4 on the Black Grip Study on the other luger forum.....
