The grip looks thicker than normal in the area just below the Safety lever on the left where it fits into the little step on the frame.

It could be a normal variation, a replacement grip or one that has a repair done in that area. Factory DWM grip checkering normally continues around that curve toward the frame, and doesn't leave that unfinished flat wood area. It could just be something that got through quality control, or they could be replacement grips. A check inside would probably be wise.

i just checked my DWM Lugers and this one (1921) has the thickest wood in this area.
