HiCobra.
Yes, the grips seems to be of bakelite-type.
the "serrations", looks random, therefore I assume the grips are handmade.
I will try to remove the grips and look behind to see if I find something interesting.
Sorry for my bad english, it is not my first language.

Update: The inside of the grips offer no markings, but the surface is much more shiny and untouched. This leads me to think that the grips have been sandpapered to suitable height/fitting by hand.
Or maybe this is some kind of lastditch-grips.
Any input is greatly appreciated.

I think you used an online translationservice for your last post asking where I got the gun.
I tried to explain that in my first post and I dont have much more info to give.
I did not look for waffenamt-markings on the barrel and magazine earlier, but they are there alright.
Overall I like this gun, it probably has been places.

Re: Another FN 1922 with german waffenamt
I knew it wouldnt work ha ha ah but I like to get the responsis...your english is probly better thn mine !!!
but when it comes to a bakelite grip, they do look a litle bit stock but thats my personal opinion, there are good chances that it was a wartime owner modification ....and I honestly feel that you have a great (shaky) pistole!
I cant touch it so as I said my personal opinion on picture
luck for you Laplander

Re: Another FN 1922 with german waffenamt
are ther "ribs" on the inside of the grips?

Cobra.
No, the inside of the grips are smooth and untouched.
The brass "rivets" and brass screw looks homemade, but the steel screw looks more like factory made.
Also thank you Cobra for your interest.
Pop over to Sweden and I will let you see this gun more closely.
