GERMAN LUGER P.08 PISTOL GRIPS are the easiest Grips to FAKE.
Bulgarian Grips
BUYERS ARE PAYING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR HANDMADE GRIPS FROM BULGARIA ( THEY LOOK NICE! WOOD UNKNOWN! ) THEY DON'T EVEN FIT THE LUGER FRAME PROPERLY, THEY LEAVE A 1/16 GAP AROUND THE EDGE OF THE FRAME AND FIT POORLY AT THE TOP. THEY ARE VERY VERY THIN AND BECOME WARPED BECAUSE OF THIS AND THE WOOD IS NOT DRIED PROPERLY. (KILN DRIED)
FOR BEST RESULTS BUY ONLY AMERICAN WALNUT REPLACEMENTS!
REPLICA American Black Walnut & Black Plastic Grips sold on eBay for under $30,00 Made in U.S.A.
UPDATE
Seller "ocras2007" sells Walnut Grips for $14.95 - WOW!
Nobody can be sure if the grips are authentic. Any set of wooden grips can be roughed up and sold as genuine. Soaking them in dirty engine oil for example. American Black Walnut Grips Sell from $35.00 - $45.00 on eBay. NEVER PAY MORE THAN $45.00 for ANY Luger Grip unless you have proof it's Original. The same can be found on the internet. ORIGINAL GRIPS HAVE 2 DIGIT SERIAL #'S STAMPED DEEP THAT NEVER WEAR OFF - THE KNURLING OR CHECKERING IS SMALLER THEN REPLICA GRIPS, THERE IS A STEEL INSERT FOR THE SAFETY ON SOME. REPLICA GRIPS SHOW CLEAN MILLING MARKS ON THE INSIDE. DWM, Erfurt, Simson, Vickers, Waffenfabrik Berne, Mauser and Krieghoff are the GERMAN LUGER P.08 PISTOL Makers. Be on the lookout for Keywords like DWM, MAUSER, 1908, GERMANY, WWI, WW2. Seller npm83 has been selling Luger grips for hundreds of dollars, his auctions are usually "NICE ww1 DWM p-08 GERMAN P08 LUGER PISTOL GRIPS" or "NICE ww2 Mauser p-08 GERMAN P08 LUGER GRIPS" His grips are cheap wood and he is not in Item location: MALDEN, MA, United States. He is in Bulgaria. He also sells "LUGER clip bottoms DWM or MAUSER Germany p-08 P08" He never say Reproductions and has his items listed under Collectables. There are other Bulgaria Sellers selling the same fake originals with darker areas ex. Seller lematrevolvers. Forget about Auctions "Found at an Old Military Base",


Bulgarian Grips (Claimed "Found at an Old Military Base")
Lugers have been collected for years there are no NOS grips. Forget about PRIVATE auctions, that is so other ebayers can't tell you are getting Ripped Off. And Please FORGET about USED ORIGINALS, everyone keeps their original Luger grips.(used are the easiest to fake but you know that, Right?) Don't buy outside of the U.S and Canada. Ask the seller to provide a written document that they are Authentic, then take them to an Expert (many handgun shooters have a Luger), Paypal will refund you if you have proof they are fake!........DON'T BE HAD!

We know he is in Bulgaria. I was asked by Paypal to return his CRAPPY Luger Grips to 100 Wasington St. st#11. The package was returned and I received a Credit from Paypal. He still sells, even though I complained about Contact Information & Item Location. Hello ebay, anybody home?
