Curt, the strawed parts are the ones golden yellow color, these were done this way on all Lugers made before 1937 (and some during 1937) A few commercial models and the German Airforce models had strawed parts also after 1937. These parts are the trigger, safety lever, magazine release button, ejector, and take down lever. See picture for example. Thor
