GERMAN WWII HUNGARIAN FEMARU 37M FACTORY PISTOL GRIPS WITH SCREW

 German WWII Hungarian Femaru 37M Factory Pistol Grips, with Screw

This is a set of factory-pattern wood grips for the Femaru 37M, the Hungarian pistol designed by Rudolf Frommer and used by both Hungarian and German forces during WWII. It comes with the mounting screw included. Here’s the detail to confirm first: the 37M was produced in two different calibers depending on which military ordered it. So knowing which version you own matters before you assume anything about fit.

Two calibers, two contracts

Hungary adopted the 37M in 1937, chambered in 9mm Browning Short, better known as .380 ACP. After the war began, Germany placed its own contract for the pistol, but in 7.65mm Browning, better known as .32 ACP, to match standard German sidearm ammunition. Both versions share the same basic frame and grip design. However, serial number ranges and proof marks differ between the Hungarian and German contract guns, so check which variant you have if you’re trying to match period-correct details beyond the grips themselves.

Material, size, and finish

Original factory GERMAN WWII HUNGARIAN FEMARU 37M FACTORY PISTOL GRIPS WITH SCREW were wood, typically with vertical serrations cut into the surface for a better hold. Weight stays minimal, since grips are a small panel component rather than anything structural. Exact wood species, dimensions, and finish on this specific set: verify, since grip sets reproduced or sourced for historic pistols vary in quality and material depending on the supplier.

Why original wartime grips carry extra value

Collectors pay close attention to whether grips are genuine period production or later reproductions. The 37M saw limited total production, under 80,000 units across its full run from 1941 to 1944. So original, matching wartime grips hold real value beyond simple function. If authenticity matters to your collection, ask directly whether this set is original production or a modern reproduction built to match the factory pattern.

 Fitment GERMAN WWII HUNGARIAN FEMARU 37M FACTORY PISTOL GRIPS WITH SCREW

These grips are built for the Femaru 37M pistol specifically. They are not interchangeable with the earlier Frommer 29M, which the 37M replaced, since the two pistols use different frame dimensions despite sharing design lineage from the same manufacturer. They will not fit other Hungarian or European pistols from the same era, even ones that look broadly similar in general shape.

The mix-up we see most: buyers assume any “Frommer” pistol grip fits any Frommer-designed pistol. It doesn’t. Frommer worked on multiple different pistol designs over his career, and grip dimensions changed between them. Confirm your pistol is specifically the 37M model, not an earlier Frommer design, before ordering.

Buying through eurogunandpartshub.com means this ships from within the EU rather than from a US-based supplier, which generally means a cleaner customs process and quicker delivery across the UK and Europe. Grips are typically treated as a non-restricted accessory part across most EU member states and the UK, since they’re furniture rather than a regulated action or barrel component. Still, it’s worth checking your own country’s import rules before ordering, particularly for parts tied to a historic military firearm, since some countries apply extra scrutiny to WWII-era collectible items. We handle export paperwork and customs declarations on our end. Delivery timing depends on your destination, generally faster into Western Europe than further east.

Demand unconfirmed for this specific grip set in the European market. The Femaru 37M holds genuine historical interest among WWII collectors, given its dual Hungarian and German military history, but we don’t have sales figures for this exact grip set here.

A few questions come up consistently before people order a set like this. The first is whether these grips are genuine wartime production or a modern reproduction. That’s worth asking directly, since authenticity affects both collector value and historical accuracy. The second is whether the grips fit both the .380 ACP Hungarian variant and the .32 ACP German contract variant equally well. Generally yes, since both share the same frame dimensions, but confirm this against your specific pistol before ordering. The third is whether the included screw matches original factory thread specifications. That’s worth checking too, especially if you’re restoring a pistol to as-original condition rather than just replacing worn grips for use.
