Title: correct grip color for WTP2
Post by: wtp2question on January 25, 2016, 10:49:18 PM
Hello,
I am having some difficulty determining what the correct grip color (black or brown) would be for the WTP2 that I have.  Receiving conflicting opinions from just about everyone I have spoken to.  How would this be determined?


Any help would be appreciated.


Thank you

You have an interesting user name. Welcome to the forum. I have been studying Mauser pocket and vest pocket pistols for some years now. The WTP II is most often encountered with black grips. Occasionally one will be encountered with brown grips. I have 8 WTP II and only one has very dark brown grips. I have seen some that are lighter brown, a medium brown. As far as I can see from the 100s of examples I have recorded in my serial number database there is no rime or reason to why or when some WTP IIs have brown grips.

Regards,
