Each grip panel is carved with a hawk with inset eyes and personal initials "G.E.D." in a large diamond. The left panels has a couple of minor flakes of shale and minor chips, right panel appears to be in near mint condition. No signs of any repairs. These are very thick and it is nearly impossible to get a similar set today. If you own a presentation or engraved Luger, these would add greatly to both value and beauty to that firearm.
