Plus there is no carbon from firing it, what a mystery ! Any idea what the H stands for on the bottom ?

I don't, but I've owned a couple of stocks that look unused which went through rebuild. One I had recently went through Anniston and still had the high wood, but no right side cartouche. I don't remember an H on the bottom. My guess is the H is another proof from an inspector or another verification.
That has to be the sharpest most defined Trimble stamp I have ever seen. Seems so new. The 5-44 Underwood barrel is from the replacement barrel contract Underwood had after they finished making carbines. It is a replacement barrel on your friends carbine for sure.
If seen 100's of fake Trimble stamps, the letters are very wide on fakes, this seems legit to me and in remarkable shape !
I agree.
Just for comparison......NPM/U 4371xxx (low wood)

Thank yall for liking my first carbine purchase. I am going to try to acquire the correct parts for it. Thanks to Phillydude for the acquisition of some of those parts. If anyone can help out please let me know.
The Trimble markings I have seen are usually lightly struck. Exceptionally light and hard to see TN marking on the handguards. This looks like someone stamped this with a 20# sledge hammer.Quote:

So Jim, your saying it was mandated that any stampings had to be struck lightly ?
I think I said the ones I've seen have been lightly stamped. This one with more force.Quote:
