It appears to be a hand carved/modified stock, with the cheekpiece removed, flipped and mounted backwards for a left handed shooter.  You can see where the bracket doesn't quite fit.  All the finish has been mostly scrubbed off the metal.  The fasteners don't look period but not sure.  Reworked to suit the owner much later than the 40's and far from original.  Seems to be gaining steam with a couple experienced bidders in there.  Opinions?

Not sure if it is appropriate to post the link so I didn't.  Here's a pic though.

Saw another post with a link to another auction so I'll share the link.   Left hander mods on this stock.

A whittler has to have something to whittle on.
