I guess they call it NORWEGIAN wood. If I were to speculate about the circular mark, I would say that it looks like the mark you see on the end of OLD chair or table legs that lost the metal button they put there to prevent damage. The Finns are known to have used these stocks with 4" PO-8s for some time after WW I. Could they have attached a standard type PO-8 holster to this stock using a similar style button some how ?? Thanx Jerry! Joe

Hello,
I have one of this as well in my stock collection
I guess they are part of the set that went to Finland and used with the P08. In my stock only the wood is stamped, the attaching iron it is not.

Cheers,
Mauro
