Million Dollar Chip

[Major Tom]

Simpsonsltd has a lot of such defects on their lugers and they point out the defect.

Major -

Checking Simpson's was an excellent suggestion. The site has a very specific search function (unlike Gunbroker , but I digress...) - I searched for "chip" and came up with numerous examples , some of which still command a very high price despite the flaw... interesting.

I think it is in my interest to find a pair of aftermarket grips prior to shooting my Luger.

Thank you. 'Ski

If someone would post a photo of that fault I would appreciate it.

Thank you , 'Ski

Here you go, Ski.

It appears that "defects" in grips are forgiven much more easily/frequently and of less importance than problems with metal. JMHO

If one so desires, the "chip" is easily repaired, with near un-detectable results by a couple members of this forum.
