Ditto, with the above...Please post.

I just finished the the FAQ method on original K-date grips with excellent results. The wood just looks like it got a good cleaning but still has great checkering and "old" look to it. It did not go from black to perfect restored or new grips which would have been hokey. I view this method as you would clean and oil the metal parts of the gun...not as a restoration to a new look. All the scars remain as do the deep stains from the years of use. If your Luger has some wear, I think you would want to consider this method. A full resto job might want to try a different way.

My two cents from a complete newbie-novice.
