It should come off fairly easy....I would strip it off carefully and gently, that would probably reveal a lot of detail. That sort of finish (or poly) really seems to cover up markings. Plus if you have perused this forum a bit, like you said, you know that to collectors, that sort of finish is a big no-go...really, unless you ae actually planning to carry it in lots of adverse weather, there is no reason to put anything on the stock, except maybe some Howards on it.
There should be lots of threads regarding stock finishes here, do a search and you'll get tons of input...hard to say on anything without good, clear pics, verbal descriptions tend to be problematic....
