    Lithgow laminated buttstock?

    I'm curious about this auction item that I'd been watching- what was described as, and what appears to be a laminated Australianicon buttstock. I know that Long Branch dabbled in such things but Skennertonicon doesn't mention this in his Australian production chapter unless I missed it. Can someone enlighten me? Just butts or forends, too?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    I have what I believe is a Lithgowicon laminated stock but its much more blocky than that one. The one in the auction looks to be laminated thin layers where as mine looks like it laminated from 3 thick layers of blocks top to bottom.
