Just bought a 1917 DWM with matching, light-colored grips. When cleaned they do not appear to be walnut. I have read references to beech grips, but can't find the source.

1. Does anyone know when beech was used?
2. Can anyone confirm from the image if this is, indeed, beech wood?

Thanks for your help.
