Something tells me "Caution"!!!
The small cut out at the lower left of the grip seems to not be a chip in the wood.
If it is a chip then the material is not wood, Because wood probably chips differently not a clean cross grain break, Possibly there may be one exception "CoCoBola".
If its not a chip and was an intentional cutout, It seems to me that it is not a WW-2 product.
I'll stick with "probably not". <img border="0" alt="[nono]" title="" src="graemlins/nono.gif" />
