Got this recently, seems to be a nice condition a3 in a scant stock. It has non matching numbers on the butt. Both serial number and barrel date to late 1943. The stock seems to be absent most of the usual stamps. What I can find are an X and. K in places that don't match what I've seen on others. Any ideas? No cartouches, no P, no maker's mark under the mag cutoff. Otherwise it's a nice clean example I think. I assume the scant stock was an in-war or post-war replacement? It does have to well done repairs behind the tang and on the toe. It's certainly seen some use.
