Aside from the HIDEOUS grips...

In the early 1960s my first Luger is a 1920 commercial that had "stag" Franzite grips and a white plastic mag knob. I thought this was the coolest gun ever. After taking the Luger to the range I realized that the grips would slip and move around when the gun was fired. The grips were quickly replaced with proper wooden grips. A few years ago I found the old Franzite grips that had shrank beyond usage much like the grips displayed on GB.
