Unfired Luger???

Or to better pay attention to the ones I have/have read! Once I got through to the information on mine and into the early 30's models i had stopped paying as clear attention. I've only been intensively studying for about 2 months, still plenty of rookie mistakes to be made and lessons to be learned, that is why I joined the forum!

I have to wonder if perhaps the grips were stripped(finish) in order to try and make the original and replacement grip match, color wise.

I'm suspecting you are right. See also how at places around the edge of the right grip appear what look like runs of a dark liquid stain?

Still left wondering what the original finish would've been.
Guess I'll have to buy a book. The finish on my only other gun (a '38 Mauser [shooter)] ) appears like nothing more than a rubbed (WELL rubbed) oil finish.
