Question about Detroit PD M1 Carbine Stock

[Bill Hollinger]

That stock is American walnut and looks US. The stamp in the sling well is not US. For the life of me I can't remember which country that sling well stamp is for but I have no doubt an answer will be coming shortly

I just found a link to a similar picture at ERMA Werke so it looks like it came in via West Germany. The recoil plate is a dark black blue with no markings, and the buttplate has very pronounced and distinct texture. The blueing on the buttplate looks like it's been around for awhile so it's probably not a recent replacement. I'll post a picture tonight to see if anyone has seen anything similar. If these guns could talk.....
