I had a chance to bring this piece up on Mike Krause's computer in his shop. His screen was a little bluer than mine. The straw parts looked proper and the grip safety was definitely NOT strawed. His comment was that this piece looked absolutely righteous to him and was a fine representation of a very few (?50 perhaps) of similar late commercial Swiss lugers in the 87,XXX of the BKIW era. The price he thought was kind of high but not out of line with retail prices on such a piece. If it was an early version of a Mauser Swiss commercial, add another $2K to the price!
