Now, I will be quite glad to be proven wrong, but shouldn't that seven have a crossbar?

Non-functioning Cartridge Counter grips...
...for my Interarms American Eagle (Navy) 30 Luger straight grip Parabellum. I’ve been enamored w/Lugers since I was a kid...always wanted one! At 72, I finally got a 2nd best (?) example. Retirement income put true Lugers, much less Cartridge Counter examples out of reach.
The Interarms straight grip frame (w/o fore-grip swell) has always looked odd, so I fabricated an insert to cosmetically (not attached to the frame) fill out the true Luger grip frame contour.
I figured I could mill a slot in a “regular magazine to mate with a set of over the counter CC grip blanks. I quickly found the magazine Steel to be too hard.
On to plan B... using 2 different thicknesses of clear Lexan, I fitted them to the milled grip channel. Thin window laid directly on the # register MS Word let me choose a similar-to-original font style, printed on aged paper. The thicker Lexan window (mounted flush w/the checkered surface finished my faux CC grips. Not a true CC Luger, but I like the look. Labor intensive...yup...not a true CC...yup...not a “true Luger...yup, but as close as this “retiree” on a fixed income can manage.

FT85, good luck RE: a CC Luger. Insofar as the American Eagle, I’ve had mine 2+ years & other than caliber/straight grip frame, I love it! Fit/finish is flawless! Navy bbl length ++! I paid about that for mine...(too much!), but it was 99%.
Gotta’ love Chenaults AV fliers
