I picked up a Finn stock that had been imported by the Finns from Germany. The stock has the first generation finger groove grip too. It's marked Deutsch twice.

Does that mean it was a capture at some juncture? Like early WWI? What happened to the receiver, tigger assembly and barrel, etc do you suppose?

Very nice find. Now you "just" need to find the rifle (1893 or earlier) for this stock. BTW: The back part of the reciever is different to the normal ones because of the finger rest.
