[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 2434430, member: 13284"] Steve, An original 1912 era stock would have had a three letter boxed cartouche of the inspectors initials behind the cut-off recess and a serified P stamp on the wrist behind the trigger guard. I have not personally seen a SA rebuild stamp on a 1903 stock, but it is my understanding that they exist. Any non-rebuild SA inspector stamps would have been used during the 1930's. If Sarco could dig up a stock with any typical WWII era arsenal rebuild stamp it would be a nice score (any serviceable cartouched stock at that price would be a great deal). Below is a link to a list of the inspector's cartouches that you will find on USGI 1903 stocks. You can see that there are quite a few different options that could possibly be viewed as "correct" if you bring all of the different rebuild arsenals into the equation. Unfortunately, I'm not knowledgeable enough to say which arsenals were specifically active in 1942. [url]http://m1903.com/isstamps.htm[/url] [/QUOTE]
