Proper grip finish

Szyp · 11-07-2012, 10:04 AM

I am aware that this is a Luger forum, and have one currently being "rehabilitated" Thor. I just got a P38 from 1944, with original grips, but want to shoot the pistol, so I took the bakelites off and want to use repro walnut grips. My request is this: what would the Mauser factory have finished the grips with? Lacquer, Boiled Linseed oil, or something else, considering the probably made wooden grips for some other firearms as well. Any and all advice/help is welcome. Thank you!!!
