Erfurt Grips

Gentlemen, enjoy your bantering in this column, it was recommended to me by one of your own who is redoing a gun for me. (No plug here Ted!) My question is: I have some very dark grips on a 1916 Erfurt. I took them off and cleaned them using the water and oil soap method I saw here a few weeks back, and after the grime came off and I can see the wood grain, they are still dark! The wood appears to be black walnut - is it? I know the grips are original, as the reverse side is numbered to the gun with an Erfurt inspectors proof. Thanks, SJL
