Nice gun, but are black "plastic" grips correct on a 1940? I thought they were seen on a relatively small percentage of the 1941 & 1942 production only.

They are correct but seldom encountered. The Wehrmacht authorized the substitution of plastic for walnut when the latter was not available in 1939.

Very nice! Looks like mine minus the grips. How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks George, there's always something to learn.

The question is better put "how much are you asking?"

Hi Rick, where do you get grip prints from on the Bakelite mauser grips, inquiring minds want to know!
