Need help with grips...hundreds of them

ChrisG43 · 11-14-2011, 12:46 PM

Just picked these up, over 200 grips....the one photo w/ the little scraps of paper was where I broke them down by serial (at least the ones that did have them), there were more on the left grip marked than the right...I don't know if that is common or just an anomaly. There are a fair amount w/ waffenamts, but the most are probably imperial, many are unmarked. If anyone needs a specific number on a grip feel free to shoot me a PM and I'll see if I have it. Many have little checkering left, some have some pretty big chips out of them, and some are really nice, most of those I have bagged up as pairs (there were many left and right serials that did match-25 pairs or so). Just wondering what the best way is to part with these...as singles, as pairs (mismatched of course-I do have the 25 or so that have matched out, and I'm going to sell those as such when I get to it. Thanks for the advice in advance, Chris...

Just Wait Till Clark see these!

Chris..Nice score! Did you get any with EWB branded in them, large on the outside?

If these were mine I would start sorting them for further charecteristics. WW1, DWM and Erfurt from later Mauser, looking for grip safety types..Dutch types and after that... taking individual grips out that can be salvaged. Complete grips with little problems, like recheckering and need the services of a Pro like Hugh Clark.

Better words have not been spoken!! Dont break up pair or a few off!

LugerVern · 11-14-2011, 04:22 PM

OK, I'll bite. Where the heck does a guy pick up over 200 Luger grips? Some dude just had 'em layin around in his garage?

Yup, he did...part of an estate, I have picked up a good part of it, but really I haven't.....the guns numbered in the hundreds, including hundreds of Lugers......most are gone, I have 6 new Lugers, but picked up boxes of US Militaria, US Web Gear, I just posted an Artillery shoulder stock and holster in the Artillery section of the forum. Picked up an M3 Sniperscope...you get the idea. I made one trip where my little mini van was completely full of US Militaria alone. Chris...

I'm interested in:
a) a real good unnumbered pair, and
b) a real good pair numbered 10

Can reach me at 304 844-6046 or 304 363-0008
thanks

I'm a Luger Novice, just happened to be in the right place at the right time for a lot of stuff... I can spot Imperial markings and Waffenamts no problem, and know what to look for as far as grip safeties, etc.... But, I'm looking for guidance and I'll see what I can pick out for you.... Chris....
I'm going to go slow letting this go (several sets at a time), and it is just too much, but willing to work w/ folks on helping them get what they need....

ChrisG43 · 11-14-2011, 11:52 PM

Just saw the sticky on the Early Lugers forum for grips...that helps, it will take me a few days to sort through these provided I have time...will see what we have for early grips... Chris..

cool

Ed

ChrisG43 · 11-15-2011, 01:44 AM

I'll start throwing a few of these out here for discussion/perusal....Set #1, a little crusty, Serial number 40

ChrisG43 · 11-15-2011, 01:47 AM

Set #5...I'm bagging them in ziplocs to keep 'em straight...

ChrisG43 · 11-15-2011, 01:48 AM

Set #6, GI souvenir, it is what it is...

ChrisG43 · 11-15-2011, 01:51 AM

Set #8, repros/vopo/or original? The only set that I have, it looks like plastic compared to bakelite...pourous as well...

ChrisG43 · 11-15-2011, 01:53 AM

Single "red 9", purely fantasy or original???

ChrisG43 · 11-15-2011, 02:01 AM

S/42's, looking for their mates (which I may have, just need to have time to dig deeper). One is in bad shape...

ken d · 11-17-2011, 04:12 PM

#8 is a repo for a grip safety model.

GOOD GAWD!!! WHATTA HAUL!!!

I'm at work now (slow night...) but I'm in need of a set of decent wood grips for my VoPo Luger; a DWM which, based on a serial number search, appears to be an early 1918 civilian (I'm a Luger novice too, so that search may be tinged with wishful thinking).

I'll be back in touch in a couple of days.
