I picked up this PPK last year. Here's the story. It came with the grips shown in the first two images. I think they are reproduction (junk). The seller said he obtained it from the estate of the Vet who brought it back and with it was another PPK grip set with a small piece broken off the left side by the safety lever. These look genuine to me. For my taste I prefer the damaged original (?) grip to the excellent condition reproduction. The problem is the grips I believe are correct are flared a little, especially at the bottom and do not seem to fit very well. The metal insert in the grips I would like to have on this piece also seem to contact the inside of the grip frame which adds to the flaring problem.
Does anyone know, are the 2nd set of grips real and correct?
Is there any trick to installing PPK grips to get a better fit?
