I got this one last week, and the grips arrived today from the Curt Harlow Magic Emporium...It's undeniably refinished by persons unknown...The letter request is sent, but the S/N suggests 1934 origin...

These are original walnut...Curt said he just cleaned them up a little...To we mere mortals that would represent a Herculean task...Good lord those are nice service stocks.
Did he make those or are they factory that he cleaned up?
What kind of wood?
