I suspect that it's been heavily sanded, has that look to it.

Sadness! But I will still be happy with it, this stock has definitely been drug through hell and back sometime in its life.

Thing is, shellac can and is removed from Mausers, Mosins, SKSs, SVT 38/40s you get the drift. In most cases one has to sand in addition to what the Reds did to remove all the Shellac down in the nooks and crannies. Not saying that happened here but just because it isn't there now......

This quite possible could have happened, I remember when I bought it, my gun store told me the guy that sold it to them was in the middle of "restoring it". Evidence of this can be seen because the floor plate looks to be force matched to the receiver only because the font of the numbers looks different. So this guy could have sanded out the stock as well. And I can't tell on certain other parts as well, I don't know if they are NOS surplus or new reproduction as I don't know what should have waffenampts, doesn't, or is spotty.
