1938 S/42 Luger loose grip question

I read that most Lugers (Maybe All?) came with a leather washer under the grip screw. I made one from leather and oiled it. I place it under the grip screw of my 1916 DWM. That took all the looseness out of the grip. It worked as well as a rubber washer did.

No Lugers left the factory with leather, or any other washers under the screws.
