Well it may be walnut but not the traditional European walnut ( Turkish type). They came in three versions walnut, beech, and walnut with checkered hand grip. I’m not an expert on Brno ( although have 4) model 1, 2, 5, and 465 Hornet.

I would call it as walnut just a european species not ya normal English variety

That's not an uncommon grain pattern in walnut
