IR-IP S'G' I cut stock -- IR IP with no dash between, check cartouche

**maxwindage1** · 01-24-2012 12:37 PM

I've been offered an I cut IR-IP stock with an S'G' / wheel cartouches. This is the first stock I have seen with no "dash" between the IR and IP. Also, the wheel appears more like a Winchester acceptance stamp than a Grand Rapids (see bomb's flame -- outline vs. individual horizontal flames). Please have a look and let me know what you think.
Thank you!

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.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

fake!

The markings look almost to good. What condition is the rest of the stock? The apostrophe's on mine are verticle, not slanted.

Exactly who is offering this stock??

**Bill Hollinger** · 01-24-2012 03:37 PM

I have to agree. The stamping looks suspect to me and all the S'G' I've seen (albeit not many) have the apostrophe vertical as Jim stated. The books all show vertical as well.

Agree it's a FAKE..

**USGI** · 01-24-2012 05:02 PM

I agree with the others. The S'G' in the box is not right, and the CC looks a lot like an IBM to me. Good attempt, though!

Here is a real S'G' stamp that you can use as a reference. It's on a reworked stock. The OG is an indication of a reworked stock, but the S'G' is a real Saginaw stamp. Hope that helps.

I also had to throw in my arsenal rack for the heck of it.

And of course that is one of each maker, right?
