Possible it was never stamped to begin with. Every book I have states that the earliest WRA Type I's could be found unmarked.
IMHO,
In curent state stock and HG could still sell for $300+
Small router bit cutting in the slide channel and number stamped on the inner right rail is common trait to a WRA stock.
Raised area over the Escutheon nut and angle cut at the frt edge of slingwell also common to WRA stocks.

Feel along the right side and left side of the stock just forward of the inner wood bridge. If it hasn't been sanded away, you'll feel a divet in the wood in this area. You'll also feel a divit on the bottom forward of the frt of the trigger housing inlet.

A picture of the milling style under that HG can show if it was made by WRA also.
