Here is a pic of the grips with carving. I believe these grips are not only WW1 era factory but rare in that they have both oak leaves and pine needles. "BRH" = Benjamin R. Hawes
On the other side, a medallion was engraved to inlay into the grip, but the
174th artillery moved forward before the work could be done. It was later drilled and used as a necklace. 2 grip pics coming.
