The real stocks have C broad arrow and the metal is marked JI I think. I don't have one here to prove it right now.

That one doesn't look like a reproduction to me. I'd guess it's one from the factory sans the usual markings. I've had a dozen or so originals dated 1944 and 1945 and a few of the good quality reproductions. Some of the reproductions are definitely "spot on" but there's one problem. None of the ones I've seen were walnut. They're stained hardwood.

Took the stock to the HAC show today in Burnaby. Got it confirmed as an original stock. Missing markings were a subject of debate. Thanks for the help guys.

In case anyone reads this old thread, I weighed what I believe are two original Inglis wood holsters (based on known location back to about 1950 or so) and got 584 and 618 grams. I read the walnut is thought to be heavier than the Chinese wood.
Also I noticed many fakes have the markings laser etched into the wood rather than pressed with a tool.
Any comments?

Laser etching is "too perfect" if you know what I mean.
