Can someone settle this for me? I have an E. German Makarov made in 1960 and the grips are brownish-red bakelite with the Russian red star. I've seen quite a number of these with the same grips, and have read that some of the Russian grips came with them from Germany. Mostly, I read that they all had black plastic checkered grips without the thumb rest.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Ya, I'm familiar with that corner of Texas. My deceased wife's family is from that area.
