Hi wagner, Hmmm. Here's what I know for sure. The last two Horster's I've handeled have had the spongy feel to the grip when gently squeezed. I was skeptical when first told, but over time have become a believer. The information comes from a long time collector. mvogel and wotan (also long time respected collectors) seem to disagree with the theory but as yet have not responded to the test. Beyond that, I don't know what to tell you. I'll contact my source and see if I can get more specific information.
