Need advice: 1939 "42" code Luger - Bakelite grips?

Norm,

I think that the color is the way that deep FeO2 rust oxide is being picked up by the camera.

It may be straw (was that done to extractors?) but the layer has a very consistent look.

Here's a closer picture.

Is the extractor fit suspect, or is that normal?

Marc... Mag looks good to me and is certainly period to the gun.

Hi Marc, I don't know about the extractor fit, it could be OK. The mag. looks nice too. That said, this gun seems to have a long history of being messed with. I think that trying to return this piece to "authentic" condition, is a task on a par with the restoration of virginity. Best regards, Norm
