Help re SP cartouche

[Harry aka Cowboy]

I have a similar cartouche on a S-HB stock and handguard combo that look new on a similar barely used Inland 290XXX that I picked up 17 years ago off a kid who said it was his grandfathers from ww 2. The only non-inland parts are the rear sight which was loose and the stock set. see pics below. the barrel on this carbine gages less then one on TE and muzzle is virtually new its dated 5-43. Not sure if this helps but the cartouche sure looks similar.

Always remember this: If you just have to change out a part on a carbine or anything old and collectable is this, save the part that you changed out, because you may later find out it was correct. A friend who collects old telephones told me he had did this and later found the old parts were correct, but he had got rid of the correct parts he took off the phone.

cannon butts, cannon butts, cannon butts--look at cowboys, the other posted pics, then look at the ? stock--look at base of butt-they are different-I am not saying fake but am saying different and not seen by me on a original gun that I have handled-paste both side by side on your puter and blow them up--you will immediately see what I am referring to-
