    Thank you so much, just posted photos. Appreciate you
    Sorry if I missed it in the thread, but:
    - The one with the black grips is a black widow?
    - The other one with the brown grips is not?
    - Are there Lugars with black grips that are not considered black widows?

    I believe so.

    “End of contract” Mauser Mfg P08 1941-42 with bakelite grips (wood shortages) and “byf” or “41” on the toggle link were the black widows, if i remember correctly.

    So, slapping black grips onto any old luger doesn’t make it a black widow.
