Looks Great!!

You're really making me want one of those!

That big old Interarms stamp on the slide brings back memories.
I sent away for an Interarms catalog when I was in junior high or maybe HS. I looked through that catalog so much that
I had to tape the pages back together. Sure was some neat stuff. Walthers, Styres, etc.
Very back of the catalog were some French mfg. P-38s with the SVW code and metal grips.(Grey Ghosts). I think they were $250. I still want one!!

Nice grips - be sure to keep the chamber clean, they can fire without the slide being fully closed and blow off the extractor - hmm? How would I know?

came out of North Carolina, found them on Gunbroker, there is another set on there right now, though I like these better, showing a bit more bark.

Looks great Mike. Is that the same size frame as a 380 PPK?

If I have this correct, the PP and the PPK/S have the same grip frame, the PPK/S just has a shorter slide. The PPK has a shorter grip than either of them.

This pistol was used tonight to put a car struck deer down. Back legs broke, she was struggling when I came on the scene. Called the cops, they said they would be there when they could, I didn't wait. One shot behind the ear took care of her. I love this pistol

Nice looking grips. I like stag, ivory and exotic woods, especially Claro Walnut.
