It’s very hard to tell, but with the right lighting it appears there may be an 8 or a 9 between the definitive 9 and D making it a possible 98 or 99 D 

Can you post a photo, either here or on your thread at USmilitaria?
If you can also show the slide opening as well, maybe some of the more knowledgable guys can say if it started as a highwood and got cut down or was always a low wood.

From the photos you posted, I agree it looks to be unrestored and was missed in the various upgrade and rebuild programs.

Here ya go boys. If you look between the 9 and what I think is a D you can see what I think is a faint 9. The RSG is there in the top of the sling well but it’s faint. I promise it’s there lol I apologize for the crummy photos.

Thanks.
I agree its a 9 9 D
The RSG is too faint for me to be sure I'm seeing it.  Am I correct the letters are about the same size as a the 9 9?
Let's call this a Type III stock as it left the factory unless someone more experienced informs us otherwise. 

________________________________________
I'm going to work on updating the spreadsheet.  
The spreadsheet will allow quick sorting by serial number, stock type, or slingwell markings.
We can then cut and paste them back in the thread, or maybe give it to Jack for a supplement to his SG sheets. 

One change that needs to implemented is some way to uniquely identify the stock so we know if we have two that are similar versus two reports of the same stock.

If the D is a different size it’s close to whatever size the 9 is. I can look at it again in person.

I would describe the RSG in both of these as approximately the same size lettering as the numbers


In contrast to the RSG letters in the next photo which are smaller than the numbers.

My hand guard is marked with the small RSG which is also faint. My sling well I believe has the same small font RSG. It’s just barely there, but with the right light you can make it out.

A big thanks to everyone who has contributed.  Please keep them coming!
List Update

1. This is a summary following the same format Painter777 posted early in this thread.
    Stocks are listed in order of the sling well stamp number and then letter.  

2. The question arose whether there were duplicate reports of the same stock on the list.  Therefore, on the full spreadsheet I am now including additional information which will not be posted on-line.  A full serial number will help this - send it to me by if you don't want to post it on-line.

3.47 original appearing.
high wood oval SG over 78E.

Appears to be a Trimble stock based on the nose shape
