The vertical-grooved black Bakelite grips are Russian and are fairly rare; took me several months to find a set. Don't throw them out or let them go cheaply!

Yes! That is almost exactly what my mag base looks like, right down to the partial figure above the + (I guess that's the letter part of the original serial number).

The pictures are up in my 2nd post. Do you not see them? Thanks for the info about the grips. I assumed they were common on the Russian guns. I have them here somewhere and would never throw them out.

Thanks guys. Great info so far.
