Ed...(changed from Dave to Ed...)

Sometime back, you asked about the color differences in the plastic of the M1929 Swiss Bern Lugers...from their brown to black varieties.

I have been meaning to cut & paste the following photos I "borrowed" off the Simpson LTD web site to show you the variances in brown and the true black color you can run across.

My previous advice for finding true black also is a good tip...that is...wear black leather shoes or a belt to the gun show or gun shop and compare the grips to color of your leather.

Anyways...here is the posting of photos

From left-to-right are : worn brown, regular brown, dark brown, and black.

Pete.... Many thanks for the pictures but I don't think it was me that asked. I've been messing around with black grips but mainly with WW2 era Mauser guns. Perhaps it was some other good looking young guy with a grey beard....

Dave,
It wasn't me either!

Sorry...Dave...

Along with my new tag of "Old Timer Member"...I must now be plagued with Old Timer memory...

It was not you that asked...it was Ed Van Rossen...

I will change the title of my opening post, accordingly...
