1906 W+F Bern Grips...
Have seen the 06/24 Bern lugers with the wooden grips left natural as well as having the wooden grips varnished/shellaced. Several in the Bobba book also have a high-gloss finish to the wooden grips.
Do folks know if this varnish/shellac work was done in the Bern factory or later by amourers and/or owners ?
Is there a preferance ? Any difference in value ?
Regards,
Pete...
