Is This Italian Walnut?

I'd like to find out if this rifle is Italian icon

Walnut. The stock is marked 1899 & the serial #192xxx. It has what I believe to be a 1902 rear sight.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I would have to say that it does not appear to be Italian icon

in your photos.

I agree with SDKRAG, looks like a light colored standard wood stock.
It. walnut stocks started showing up in late 1899 around s/n 234,000.
Nice looking rifle though!

Thanks for the info. The bore on this rifle is excellent, and it's very accurate.

What does the unfinished wood in the lighting cuts look like?
