I can agree with ViggoG, unfortunatedly I didn�´t see the book. I don�´t belive the W+F factory did spent time to shellac the grips.
The 06/W+F (06/24 Bern)was produced and designed in the Waffenfabrik Bern after a delivering stop from DWM in WWI. The finish on these Pistols insn�´t as good compared with DWM�´s.
The rims on the grips are to save work and to save money, (not as the rims in the prototypes) bekause it is more easy to checker on a plain surface than checkering all over the whole grips. Therefore they won�´t spend time to give the grips a shellac finnish. This finnish was made probably from someone owning the Pistol.
