I dont know if thats accurate or not, I know I've seen it said in more than one place but can only find this thread at the moment. The dozen or so Vickers Lugers I have seen in photos seem to have the rough grips, but that does not prove anything. It would make sense that the wood grips be one of the most commonly replaced parts in a humid environment, so it would make sense that it would be rare to find them with finely checkered originals.

I know I saw a listing somewhere for a Vickers in an original presentation case and near perfect finish. I do not recall what the grips looked like, but it might serve as a reference...
