Stock on ePay

Hi guys, any comments on this ebay stock? A friend is interested and wants an opinion. Thanks, Steve

Underwood M1 Carbine Stock Original WWII Wood "Nice" - eBay (item 290302050251 end time Mar-17-09 19:30:49 PDT)

I know I am new at this and I come off as a doubting thomas sometimes, but.... it seems strange to me that there are no pics showing the front right side of the stock. Also, you can not see the very front tip of the stock in any of the pics. And what is "normal dings nothing major" mean? Is that like the carfax commercial of a flooded car having "new upholstery"?

i would like to see a better pic of the cartouche. here is a pic of what it should look like get the seller to provide an up close pic and compare, the pics provided by the seller aren't the best.https://www.milsurps.com/images/impo...3/15_121-1.jpg

Thanks guys, another friend of mine has asked the guy for more pics. We'll see what happens. Steve

how could the cartouche be so clean, since the rest of the buttstock area has been cleaned and refinished?

You might want to get an opinion from Charlie (Painter777) he knows stocks quite well.

The cartouche is fake, one of the reproduction stamps on ebay most likely.

Guys, here is the cartouche pic the guy sent my friend.

Any thoughts?

Steve,

All I get from the link is a Yahoo sign in page. I'd like to see the close-up. The photo in the ebay ad looks like a fake.

cafdfw, weird, it comes up for me. I'll have to re-learn the new posting pics procedure I guess. Steve :dunno:
