Thanks Hondo for the wealth of information. Quite a surprise on the grips on both guns.
Yes, I would like to know how to polish the sambar stag grips.
As to the question of the finish, I am thinking that it must be nickel albeit faded. I can find no B or N in any of the places you said. You mentioned that could be an indicator of nickel finish.
You are absolutely right about the side plate screws being in the wrong holes. Unfortunately the round screw is totally frozen/rusted and won't budge. I am trying a little penetrating oil and some gentle persuasion to back it out. So far no luck. I would like to get inside to check for rust and lube if necessary.
I am attaching some new photos that may be helpful.
Thanks for the videos, very informative.
