Interesting...who was the maker ot of interest?
They dare not speak his name in hushed tones
No idea, it had a little 'H' stamped on the base, and inside was a H or K printed in a circle like so. I thought there was another mark as well, but I must have been mistaken.
Those proper Beeman grips are beautiful. A very different aesthetic to my butchered and battered set. I guess they suit a better condition pistol. Mine is so well-used that it needs sympathetically bruised grips.

This is one side of the Beeman grips fitted to a Tempest, no longer in my collection:

Very nice.This is one side of the Beeman grips fitted to a Tempest, no longer in my collection:
I wonder whether it would be possible to make/modify a rear sight blade for the Tempest to work as a peep-sight, or something.

The inside does look like Feinwerkbau, maybe 80 or 90, and the H is for large size I think (hoch = tall).No idea, it had a little 'H' stamped on the base, and inside was a H or K printed in a circle like so. I thought there was another mark as well, but I must have been mistaken.

In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

Thanks Garvin, you're correct. Grateful for the info.
Yep, looking online, FWB80's share what the grip looked like before modifying. Telltale angled crosshatching at the base of the RH grip too.
Mine is a well-used grip. It came covered in wood putty to suit someone's hand, covering all the painstaking stippling that had been done.
I'd love a FWB, but I do enjoy how many people have laughed seeing this little plinker all tarted up.

That's a good spot... Nice to see a bit of German woodworking now adorning a quality British pistol
