Could you post full photos of the black grips...both inside and outside views ?

They may be an authentic pair of "Black Widow" grips...

BTW...you could spend a few more hundred $$'s and have it nicely restored...since all parts seem to match.

The best pic I have of the handle is the full spread pic. Here is that pic a bit bigger. Hopfully it helps.

They could be original bakelite grips (but don't belong on this 1938). If you're considering buying this pistol definitely get better pictures of the grips posted. They could be fairly valuable.

I believe my 41 byf does have original black grips and here's a link to detailed pictures of the inside and outside so you have something to compare to. http://forum.lugerforum.com/showthre...threadid=16922

As far as the "two tone" effect, my 1938 receiver has a "plum colored" brownish blue like what I see in your photos while the barrel is much darker blue.

A simple piece of advise concerning aquiring Lugers, Buy the gun, not the story.

Good luck.
