Hi Jack,
I have to tell you that I'm one of those annoying people that never lets a reference go by unchecked. What makes you think that the stock pictured on page 1324 in Görtz/Sturgess Vol.III, green edition, is "not of walnut grain wood"? Also, while it is true that Sturgess states that "very rarely the discs may be made of brass rather than steel", it's significant that he couldn't find a single example to illustrate his point.
No one is trying to talk you into selling a valuable original Navy stock at a bargain price, the very suggestion is an insult to the forum members who have merely tried to help you.
