What is this grab handle?

[Thom Fitzpatrick]

I got this NOS grab handle with my '63 T34. It's just slightly different than the original black one. The hole on the big side was offset, with a flat spot, and it's a bit shorter than the original. I suspect it is for some other type of car, and got passed off as T34 at some point.

Oh, man...so close, but no cigar. No idea what that's supposed to fit.

I think I'll heist the chrome end caps off of it for the stock handle.

I threw mine into the re-chrome pile and they came back looking great. The handle fasteners went into the clear zinc pile, with similar outstanding results. I can't tell you exact costs because it was all bundled together.

That handle might end up having some resale value if kept together.

I have the catalogs from GHE from 1967-1974, but couldn't find it in there. It's probably manufactured earlier than 1967.

This company manufactured a lot of the smaller hardware parts like handles, locks, buttons, rubber profiles, etc. for VW, Ford, Opel, NSU, Mercedes, etc.

The company still exist and it's in the same business. You could send them an e-mail/letter and ask; www.happich.de.
