I tried to correct a bit of the preceeding post but couldnt get to it. Anyway there is no stain on the barrel, that is on a 1915 I was handling this morning also. I think I have solved/deepened the grip mystery. I found a 12 power jewelers work glass set. They show the grips are indeed rechecked as there are old dirty lines depicting a much closer original checking pattern. Some of the lines present are doubled, indicating not so professional a job. Also everything associated w/the outside of the grips seems too clean. I now believe they are walnut. The inside reveals only the Broadarrow proof which is quite a good size, the letter 'o' and what looks like a very small amatuerish depiction of a devils pitchfork (?). There is also two words stamped on the frame just forward of the grip safety where the section connects the mag well with the back strap, both poorly stamped, w/several letters plain and others smudged. About 6 characters.
