Is the finish we see on them today from the original manufacturer or the work of the various owners throughout the years?
Has anybody ever seen a completely pristine, unissued rig that they comment on?

Hi Doug, Luger stocks were finished prior to the attachment of the leather. I have an un-issued Navy stock, with pilot holes drilled for the leather attachment screws. It's finished all over.
