Quote History Quoted:
This is an early gun with the DE markings on the slide and barrel. I think this is a German made gun that came with the wood grips.

Hmmm...I'm curious about that but will defer to someone more knowledgeable ...
My (older used, but new to me) 220 Match Stainless Elite is also German, but came with aluminum grips. I'm not sure what year it was produced without some further research. It's just that I never saw one come with wood grips.
