Question for Mark in Rochester

[Mark in Rochester]

Mark,

I found a early gas trap stock in the Wisconsin Barnwood years ago, this stock went through rebuild and has the early (1942) large RA-P stamp before re-issued

The stock is carved G J NOVAK on one side and MARY ANN on the other side.

I would guess Europe and that G T Kovak to be US Army ? Mary Ann could be girlfriend or wife?

I know it is a very long shot, but can you help me. Thanks RobertAttachment 121310Attachment 121311Attachment 121312

I will give it a shot
