Grip cleaning...

Right on target Ted. If the Luger is a collector grade, leave the grips alone except for a brushing to clean up the checkering. It is not unusual to see a really nice Luger that has had the grips lightly recut to sharpen up the corners of the checkering, but this too is frowned upon by most collectors. It is along the same lines of using just a little bit of cold blue to cover up a worn edge. Best to leave a nice pistol just as it is except for a thorough cleaning.
