This stock came on a CMP Garand purchased in 1994. Is the GAW stamp original?
If it came from CSP,,it should be real,,but who bought it??
First SA GAW stock came out of Great Lakes Naval Base
Second from a CMP rifle
I have his transfer document and the original shipping box. The crossed cannons are 7/16 inches across. There is a small crossed cannon ob the bottopm of the pistol grip and a P in circle on the front of the pistol grip. The original document seems to have Julian dates (94104) in the date box.
Your cartouches seem correct, but I have never seen a CMP document listing the cartouches on a rifle. Stocks are changed all the time.
Cartouche stamps are being reproduced by the thousands and sold on "flea bay". To me, a stock stamp is the last thing I would consider when buying a rifle or a stock. Easy to fake, easy to add, easy to make a few bucks.
