I see why you guys say they are wood/varnished. tho I'm not sure. See the fourth pic? That burnishing on the bottom, which I guess varnished could look like that as well. Bakelite looks similar to that as well doesn't it? If I stripped them then I guess I could get them to swell a bit, the right grip fits too loose.

Any ideas on fixing the mag? the bolt strikes the back and it's not really functional in this particular pistol? Also there is NO serial number on the aluminum plug, either never was one on the plug or polished off for god knows what reason. It's an fxo and weighs a good ounce more than another magazine, but it just doesn't work well in this pistol. Here are some more pics, including the feed lips of the mag. .
