[Daan Kemp]

Wartime butt plates weren't all brass because of shortage of brass. Many were made in an alloy that looks aluminium, called zamak. So t might not be Indian manufacture?

Thanks for that info. It made me go look and there are a variety of differences in the butt plates as you can see here.......Quite a range of finishes.......One steel one not in photo. Some have had a hard life.
