I picked up a 1951 MAS-36 to add to my C&R collection. What got me was the no importation markings and the stock carving of the letters large "H" small "N" and large "V"and "L". Considering the rough shape it is in and no markings I think it might be a bring back from Vietnam. My google-fu has come up with nothing on the stock carving

Here's a close up of the stock
