Artillery Model Stock Iron Album
 

I just created a Member Gallery album containing some good closeups of a genuine Artillery Model stock iron for those interested... Photos are courtesy of a new member named "Furon"

John, nice photos and a nice stock iron but I do not think it is of the 1914-1918 period. The serial numbers on every imperial stock iron I have seen and or own run across the top of the iron not along the axis. Mauser stocks of the Siamese variety that I have seen or own are numbered on the wood. I think that Persian stocks are also numbered in the wood in Farsi. I have also seen alot of stocks that came from Finland, those that I have encountered are not numbered at all.

looks like it is on auction as well...full serial number shows up there...
