with a very sharp knife i cut ( hardly) a very little part from internal, and burnt it. the plastic became red, but it doent burn, and the smell is a tipical bakelite smell..
so i can confirm at 100% thath the material is bakelite ;-)

If you can confirm that the material is in fact bakelite, then the grips are probably genuine original grips. I have not seen reproduction BW grips in bakelite... only in plastic. Congrats. The grips alone are worth a few hundred dollars in the U.S. collector market (dependent on condition).
