Miracles do happen from time to time : I was eventually able to get a replacement stock, complete with handguard, upper and lower bands, pins, stacking rod and buttplate for my 1934 Mauser DSM 34.
The "new" stock differs only slightly from the"old" one, the most obvious difference being the square cut-out in the stock below the bolt handle, which is rounded on the Mauser stock.
The hole for the trigger is also smaller on the "new" stock.
An eagle - genuine or fake ?
The serial number stamped inside the barrel channel of the handguard might give some indication as to the origin of this stock, which cannot possibly be a Mauser one.
I was puzzled by the presence of a small Wehrmacht (?) eagle and a Waffenamt stamp (WaA845 or WaA815 ?) underneath the disc - do you think they are legitimate on this stock ? The Waffenamt stamp looks more like the ones used on the metalwork of K98k's.
