Welcome to HPC 1944hp

As you are probably aware, the original WWII HP Bakelite grips are hard to find. Probably will see a pair before you find a right side grip panel. Sights like EBay might have something, but it would probably take sometime before one or a set is up for auction. Also Gunbroker, and perhaps dealers like Simpson LTD or Legacy might occassionally have them.

Right now on EBay there is a set up for auction, but the right grip is broken and missing a large chunk.

I know you are looking for original, but for a temporary fix, there are replacement grips, although they look more like plastic than bakelite

What ToddSig says.

I picked up a set of these '80s plastic grips to use for shooting my 1943. The original wood grips were of very poor quality and were very fragile. These look close enough for me and the price is right.

Thanks Toddsig and tnorris for your replies and info.
I am keeping a check on the places you mentioned Todd. Tnorris I like those grips you have and have seen some really good repro plastic ones.
It’s not a big deal, and I know it’s a long shot but just wanted to throw this post out there.
You never know who has what, or what might show up.
Thanks again for your replies!

Tim,
I like your HP, just the right amount of character. Those grips are a good match for your pistol.
