Joe, These strange stocks pop up frequently. Pretty wood..Has the honey color of European walnut. I like the grain & the knot...The wood to metal fit is good. Has some patina. The strap slots are not beveled..Correct.
I don't like the serial #..too large and running linier to the iron. I don't like it on the wood either. The locking lever is smooth on one half of it? That's weird. The circular mark with 3 holes..that's unexplainable. I have looked at my share of stocks and have never seen anything like that.
It's my belief that these may have been leftovers from WW1 and were not Imperial accepted military's.
Have you looked into the stock block well and on the butt for any markings? I have one that is marked Germany in the side edges of the stock block well. Well hidden!
As far as price...One just like it recently went off on Ebay for around $350.
I collect military stocks and am not interested in those that do not have the Crown S-D etc. This one appears to be a period piece, just not a military. That being said..I believe some 1918 stocks may have slipped thru without the acceptance mark. Could be the pile that was sitting on the factory floor at the end of the war were not stamped as there was no Imperial anything left. Just hard to say.
