The VIS in the picture was supposedly brought back from the war by a distant relative. Has anyone seen a set of grips like these on a late war VIS or is this something a G.I. or someone stateside handmade? It was given to me by a relative in a P38 holster.
I also just picked up an earlier model with the takedown lever. It has a slightly different mag than what I usually see pictured. The mag on the left is a VIS mag with the waffenmark. The mag on the right came with the earlier pistol. It's made slightly different and has no waffenmark. It appears to be a fairly old magazine. Is this something aftermarket or from another gun?
The gun and mags are covered in grease, so the photo isn't the best.
