The slide stop could have been mixed up with another man's gun during cleaning. So I would not discount the checkered main spring as not being the original part to the gun. I am not an expert by any means on these, but I have read when one manufacturer of military firearms ran out of a particular part they were supplied with the needed parts from any of the other makers. When I found it the wood WW1 grips were still on it and the only reason they were is that the screw bushing had unscrewed from the frame. Since the WW1 double diamond wood grips are worth much more than the plastic I don't think they were installed anytime recent and I would suspect during the War, since as you said, he may have like the feel of the wood better. I wonder when your grips were changed? It could easily have been done by the original owner while he was in the service just because he liked them better. Your finish looks very similar to mine too. From what I've read it's not at all unusual for these early Type 3 pistols to come with a variety of early or late pattern parts, just whatever happened to be available when they were assembling the pistol. Great looking pistol - thanks for posting it! It's only about 1,000 or so digits off from mine, and it looks like the only differences are the mainspring housing and slide stop.
