So, on the Nill store page they list a few different variants of PPK grips:
Walther PPK Ulm / PPK Manurhin (not for PPK US prod.)
Walther PPK USA / PPK Interarms USA
Walther PPK Zella Mehlis (not for PPK US prod.)
Walther PPK, short compact version
With that in mind, meet my new (to me) PPK in 32 acp:

Now to me, something about the fit of those grips just doesn't feel right. The gaps at the back strap and along the bottom of the slide just seem too big! Especially on the right side of the gun, I feel like I shouldn't be able to see that much of the triggery bits.
My theory would be that some collector bought this gun, snagged the original grips off of it, replaced them with different/newer/less valuable grips, and then sold it off to some unsuspecting shmuck (like me).
Am I on the right track here? And if I wanted to buy new grips, are there any other good sources for the correct Zella Mehlis grip? I'd buy from Nill but they're asking 140 dollars plus the cost of shipping from Germany so..... nope.
Thanks in advance!
