Interesting SG stock

[painter777]

Robert Irwin was a family run furniture business.
Wood repairs and patches were a common part of production and factored in to the actual labor time in making a stock.
Filling knot holes and sap wood...etc was acceptable as long as it didn't effect a structural area.

The stock on the left is a RSG made for S'G'. A Type II.
Even before refinishing you can see the patch on the right side of the pistol grip. There's also one, up to the right of the recoil plate area.
These are factory repairs.

BTW,
The stock on the right is the one marked RSG with the I in the slingwell and Inland CC on it. It is also a Type II.
