Difference in grips?

My first Luger was a 30 caliber 1920 Commercial with Franzite "stag" grips and a ivory magazine knob. That was in 1961 when I made too many bad decisions. Wooden grips and proper magazine knob replaced the Franzite items.

Recently found the Franzite grips in my box of stuff. I tried to put the grips on the 1920 Luger to show some friends. The Franzite "stag" grips shrank just like the ones pictured above.

The curing and subsequent shrinking of some of the early after market plastic grips in amazing. The stability of the VOPO grips illustrates proper materials and application.
