You can clean the dirt out of the grip checkering with warm soapy water and soft toothbrush. Don't use anything harsh on them, and I don't recommend using the 60+ year old bakelite grips worth in excess of $300 for shooting. They are brittle and can crack on you. If you plan on shooting this collectible, (NOT recommended if you want to retain the value), get some modern reproduction grips...

Nice purchase! ...and Welcome to the Lugerforum!
