Yes! WWII production grips were made from wood. the grips may have been replaced later at the Arsenal for military use...
I've never seen original wooden grips though.
Rusty.
Interesting. I'm curious--what is your source for that info? I'm not saying that you are wrong, but two things make me wonder. I was under the impression that my Tokarev was a GI bringback (has no import stamps, etc), and thus, it was used in WWII with bakelite grips. Also, the piece shows plenty of wear, and therefore does not appear to be arsenal refinished. :confused:
