    Your PP is late enough to be considered matching being mismatched but the grips are not correct. IMHO this is a parts gun with fantasy grips. The caveat is I am not an expert in PP but own a few examples. Others with more experience may be able to shed more light on your pistol.

    Hello John thanks for your opinion!The grips are original,this is a GI bringback,got some info on another site.Late war "correct" mismatch pistol as assembled.Both wood and black plastic/bakelite grips were used late in the war,the wood ones are more scarce.After the Walther factory was overrun the GIs put these pistols together from parts in the plant or had remaining workers do it.These are becoming more collectable and bring good money.
