GERMAN WWII HUNGARIAN FEMARU 37M FACTORY PISTOL GRIPS WITH SCREW

What is the GERMAN WWII HUNGARIAN FEMARU 37M FACTORY PISTOL GRIPS WITH SCREW — and who carried it?

The GERMAN WWII HUNGARIAN FEMARU 37M FACTORY PISTOL GRIPS WITH SCREW is a Hungarian semi-automatic pistol. It was adopted by the Hungarian military in 1937. Also, Germany requisitioned large numbers during WWII occupation. So many 37M pistols ended up in German service alongside Hungarian troops. First produced by Fegyver és Gázkészülék Gyár in Budapest. Therefore, these grips are historically tied to both Hungarian and German WWII use. Finally, they are a genuine wartime piece — not a post-war copy.

Are these original factory grips or reproductions?

These are factory original grips. Not reproductions. Not modern replacements. However, age and handling will show on genuine wartime parts. So expect honest wear — small marks, patina, minor scuffs. That is what original looks like. Also, the screw is included. That matters because finding a correct period screw separately is harder than it sounds. Therefore, this is a complete, correct set for a 37M restoration or display.

Will these fit my Femaru 37M pistol?

Yes — these are cut for the Femaru 37M frame specifically. However, the 37M has had minor production variations across its manufacturing run. Also, there is a related model — the GERMAN WWII HUNGARIAN FEMARU 37M FACTORY PISTOL GRIPS WITH SCREW — with a different grip profile. So confirm your pistol is the 37M and not a 29M or other variant. The original screw included here is dimensioned for the 37M grip panel. Therefore, do not assume cross-compatibility with other Hungarian pistols.

Is £170 fair for a set of WWII surplus grips?

For a correct factory pair with the original screw — yes. Here is why. First, the 37M is not a common pistol outside Hungary and Germany. Next, finding matching original grips with the correct screw together is rare. Also, reproductions exist on the market. So paying for verified factory originals makes sense for a serious collector. However, if you just want something functional and do not care about originality, cheaper options exist. Finally, for a matching restoration, this is the right spend.

What condition should I expect on wartime surplus grips?

Honest answer — these are 80-plus years old. So do not expect mint condition. First, there will be handling marks and storage patina. Next, the material may show small chips or age-related wear on the surface finish. But the structural integrity should be solid. Also, the grip pattern — the chequering or ribbing depending on production run — should still be defined. Therefore, check the listing photos carefully. Finally, these are display and restoration pieces, not range-ready replacements.

Frequently asked questions

Is the screw included a reproduction or original?

The listing states the screw is included as part of the factory set. Verify with eurogunandpartshub whether the screw is

period-original or a modern replacement. For a matching restoration, that detail matters.

Can I still shoot a Femaru 37M with these grips installed?

If your 37M is in functional condition and legally registered, yes — these grips install and function like the originals. But given their age and collector value, most buyers use these for restoration or display rather than range shooting.

How do I know if these are genuine and not reproductions?

Original Femaru 37M grips show consistent wartime manufacturing marks and material aging. Reproductions tend to look too clean or uniform. If in doubt, compare against documented examples or ask eurogunandpartshub for provenance details.

Do these fit the Femaru 29M as well?

No — do not assume compatibility. The 29M and 37M are related but have different frame and grip geometries. These grips are listed specifically for the 37M. Fitting 37M grips to a 29M frame will likely result in a poor or non-functional fit.
