Pictures of my new Luger

Looking at the grips, I'm of the opinion that they are not original to the pistol. They appear to be bare wood without any finish applied. Have you taken them off and examined them for markings? The grips on a 1918 DWM should be darker.... much darker... than those. Unless they've been stripped of their finish. But, looking at the way they're carved around the grip screw area and the slight gap between the frame and grip above the mag release leads me to believe they're replacement grips.
