Pictures of my new Luger

If the numbers are correctly stamped inside the grips then it appears that they are original and my "observations" incorrect. That's good news for Vern and while I knew that some grips were lighter in color than others, I don't believe I've seen any quite that light. I once owned a 1918 - 1920 "Double Date" that had very dark grips but I don't recall if they were beech or walnut. Other Lugers I've owned with beech grips were also dark and appear to have been stained. The Finnish M-23 I owned had beech grips that were quite dark.
