Picked up a well used and slightly abused all matched 42 1938 98K #791 l with Luft proofed laminated stock, the stock is P marked and numbered and proofed on the outside, inside the handguard and stock are not marked. Also the flat butt plate and bayo lug are blued and the spring band is not numbered or proofed. The proofs in the stock are faint but I can make out the WaA63 on a couple of them. Would blueing the butt plate and bayo lug be part of the process when changing the stock? Only seen one other early rifle with a laminated replaced stock and can't remember any details.
