"L" Stanp on Stock??

[Dan Wilson]

The marks may have washed out or been sanded over in time or subsequent rebuilds.
One trick you could try is taking a digital photo and using some photoshop type software and adjust the levels and see if any hidden marks come out.

If you dont have any appropriate software you could email me a shot of the left wrist/receiver area of the stock and I will see if I can get anything to come out. It may not work but its worth a shot and sometimes it works.
