OT: Need identification of this C96-stock

[trigger643]

Certainly not Astra or Chinese. It is a Mauser Stock. It is not that uncommon to have an unnumbered stock. With the pistol being 1920 stamped, was the barrel also shortened and the rear sight fixed? (a very few were not so altered)

I would suspect you have a pre-1930 production commercial stock. The original for the C96/1916 would have had the irons #'d to the original pistol and have the identical depot exceptance mark as found on the right side of the receiver or the front of the magazine well stamped on the body below the hinge.

If the pistol were altered in 1920 to meet treaty specifications, it would have likely been issued with a leather holster (especially true if it went to France as part of the war reparations).
