Sorry I took so long to post this. Here's the picture of the gun with the grips off. There is a hole in the center for a single screw. I looked very close with a magnifing glass it looks like there is threads but very clean and maybe not used. They are shiny. The two other two holes for the grip are perfect, not drilled and then a screw put in the hole. will post the picture now. If you look close in the pic you can see the date 28 Oktober 1934.

Just one note. The screws holding on those grips look like U.S. round head machine screws. That leads me to think that the grips might have been put on in the U.S. or perhaps U.S. screws used to replace the originals. If possible, you might check the thread size of the screws to see if they are U.S. or metric.

Oldseal2,
thanks fort he photo of the pistol with grips removed. As there is a centre drill for the standard grip screw I believe we can forget the idea of factory made grips. It doesn’t matter. Presentation guns like this are normally based on factory standard guns and were amended by a local gunsmith or the like.
Most interesting gun – I wished, it could talk.
Regards
Martin

Hey Martin,
Wow I wish this gun could talk too!! Still going to try to find the man on the certificate hoping he still with us. My Dad passed in 1989. He was a very honest man and was so excited when the gun came to our home. My father spoke very good German so it was a special treat for him to own this gun. As far as the stories go, well your guess is as good as mine.
Ps I checked the holes and they are metric??
