Grips

Hiya Gary,

The first set of grips are post-war VoPo (Volks Polizei), applied to Lugers that were maintained by East German police.

The second pair, I think, is WWII. IIRC, some Kreighoffs had them.

If original, the holes in their backs should be tapped--repro do not "repro" the internal threads, for obvious reasons, in the molding/copying process, and either set would properly be real Bakelite.

These are certainly desirable, and unless I miss my guess, worth some bucks; more bucks, if my Kreighoff assessment is right.
