Look part way down the column and you'll find the mark on the receiver tail of a Bavarian Carbine. Marking means HE-J.P. (Hessen Landjägerei Polizei)

German Police

Gunsdora, any chance your stock has numbers stamped in the barrel channel like the one in Jim's link?

Here is another stock with JP stamp plus #'s. No #'s in the sling well but has 7 #'s stamp on the left side . The other stock on the top has no #'s on the left side. This is getting more confusing all the time.

Keep in mind that many of those Bavarians were transferred from one police dept. to another. Some will have two or even three sets of markings.
