    How Were Luger Wood Grips Originally Finished?

    How were the wood grips on Lugers originally finished?

    I was admiring a Luger I bought about a year ago. It is all matching except the grips and screws which are replacements. I bought it from a vet's son who got it from his father. His father claimed it was run over by a tank in France. More likely it was used as a hammer or something which caused the grips to break. The replacement grips are nicely made and fit well but they just look too "new". I removed them, sanded them lightly with 220 grip to smooth them a bit. Now I'd like to BLO them, but don't know if that is the way to go.

    What do you guys think?

    Okay, I did it anyways. I hit them with some 220 grit and lightly BLO'd them. After they dried, they look much better. Not the original grips, but better than what I had. All in all, it is a nice pistol. What do you think?

      Hi Emo,

      It looks OK to me, just slightly smaller than the original grips. If I were you, Iwould try to find some original stuff. It´s not really difficult and even the e-bay has some nice grips once in a while. our Luger deserve them!

      All the best,

      Douglas.
