Luger 42 (1940) Information Please

I don't believe that any 1940-42 Lugers left the factory with black plastic grips. In my opinion
these grips did not appear until June of 1941. At that point in time they were occasionally standard equipment on the 41-byf and later. If a pistol was manufactured prior to this time and has black plastic grips installed, they are most certainly replacements. As always, just an opinion.
