Nice luger. However this is one would need to be looked at in hand to tell if original or restored. With the photos I could not say either way. Definitely the grips have been messed with. Anyway enjoy!! Bill

Maybe you need a newer book?:)

Or to better pay attention to the ones I have/have read! Once I got through to the information on mine and into the early 30's models i had stopped paying as clear attention. I've only been intensively studying for about 2 months, still plenty of rookie mistakes to be made and lessons to be learned, that is why I joined the forum!

I have to wonder if perhaps the grips were stripped(finish) in order to try and make the original and replacement grip match, color wise.

See what you think:

OHHHHH...I know where you mean now. I couldn't see anything my simple mind grasped as an "impact" point in the direct vicinity of the lanyard loop....but, by gosh, there is one!

Also, the closer I look at that right grip the more it actually looks like an "S" to me. Used a real camera this time, and oriented it sideways:

I'm suspecting you are right. See also how at places around the edge of the right grip appear what look like runs of a dark liquid stain?

Still left wondering what the original finish would've been.
Guess I'll have to buy a book. The finish on my only other gun (a '38 Mauser [shooter)] ) appears like nothing more than a rubbed (WELL rubbed) oil finish.

My 1939 Mauser 42 has a strawed part on the right side, don't know the name of the part.
