Did All Kreighoffs Have Plastic Grips

They do seem to hold up better than wood.

No. The very early ones had wood, up til about late 'S' 1936. I can't find the reference (help old guys?) but the very early ones were thicker/wider grips with coarse checkering.

Eric,

Found it. Gibson's, "The Krieghoff". Starting page 41 has a long discussion on the grips.
