Black Bakelite type grips

Pete,
Yes the numbers are stamped in very small script on each inside panel. The style of script appears identical to the serial number script as appears on the outside of the pistol. I am pretty sure that they are correct. The presence of the numbers is what I missed when I first inspected the grips. The numbers are very small at exactly 2 mm in height. I verified this with a digital caliper. They are located in the middle on the inside of each grip.
Perhaps I have uncovered something new in the manufacture of war era Lugers. Who knows?
The grip material is a fiber reinforced plastic it seems. If you or anyone can throw light on this little mystery please let me know!
