Hi Jack,
Me again, the guy who ALWAYS checks references. I read pages 31 and 32 in "The Navy Luger" twice, where does it say "not walnut"? As the keeper of "The Navy List" I am in contact with Navy collectors all over the world, and I have yet to hear of a brass marking disc on an authentic Navy stock (the List not only lists guns but stocks as well).
As to your Portuguese pouch, here is a little primer, probably wasted on you:
Authentic Navy pouches can be distinguished by their distinctive strap sheaths, 88 mm in length. Type 1 pouches (photo #1) were intended to be worn on a shoulder strap and there is no provision for belt carry, Type 2 (photo #2) were for belt wear and you can see how the stitching was modified to accommodate a belt. Portuguese pouches could be worn on a strap or a belt and they're attachment sheaths were lengthened to 100 mm to accomplish this (photo #3).
