eBay Grips...

Pete Ebbink · 01-01-2008, 01:27 PM

Went ahead and spent a little money on eBay to pick up these repro grips to see their quality. Seller is from ME State...

These did not need any fitting, and the only minor complaint I have is that they are a bit too small along the back grip strap near the stock lug...

Checkering pattern is very nice and well done. Color/grain of the wood is very nice.

The light area on the left grip is not on the wood...it is probably a smudge on the glass of my scanner.

With shipping, I think they cost me a bit under $ 60 for the pair.

They are on a 1920's Alphabet Luger shooter I have. I still have the gun's original grips in safe keeping. It has a 6" 30 cal. barrel.

Magazine is a nice "repro" Navy I picked up at a Tulsa gun show in the past. One day I will add a real Navy sight to the shooter.

Thanks for posting this, as I am wondering about the quality of various sources of repro grips for my low-cost shooter at this time as well.

Christian,

An even lower cost option is to go with the post WWII German VOPO grips...black or brown plastic with the distinct "bullseye" logo on each grip.

They are for the P08 (without grip safety..).

You see these at gun shows and eBay from time to time for $ 25-35 or so.

I use them on my shooters are well...they fit well...sometimes need a minor trimming with an xacto-knife, but are very durable and do not dent/scratch like wood at the range.

And as a bonus, they are hollow inside, so the magazine will not catch behind them and they can be easily modified to fit on grip safety lugers.

Pete, I would bet that your grips were made to fit a pre-1914 PO8 san stock lug. TH
