Hello all, another new member and just a novice at that. SO the question I have today is concerning a luger stock I picked up a couple months back. I think I have an orignal Artillery stock. Could someone confirm the originality and possibly the year of manufacture. The metal serial # is 6063g and there is an S stamped into the wood just in front of the leather held on by 4 screws, the leather tab is stamped "MAURY & CO OFFENBACH A/M.". I will say I replaced 3 of the 4 screws, cold blued the screws and the lock lever but the rest of the blue looks original only rusty. I put Pecards on the leather and linseed oil on the wood. Second, I only have two standard lugers at this time. Would it be recomended to keep this stock or sell? I could use the cash now but then what if I run across a Luger needing a stock? Opinions please.
