Hi

I need your help in identifying the M1903 stocks pictured below:

1. CN cartouche RIA S stock. Conrad Nelson no date???

2 CN 1912 cartouche RIA S stock. Conrad Nelson 1912??? date

3. SA W? C stock with unusual left rail curve

4. Same SA W? C stock with two cross cannons cartouche on left side. Two cross cannons cartouche lower buttstock on the right.

I have the books but these marks have stumped me


Thanks
Curt

Larger sharper photos would help. They don't enlarge when clicked on.

Seems like the crossed cannon was not used on the stocks until late 1940. If the W last letter, it may be a GAW. Quite a few WWII 1903 rebuilds show up with the SA/GAW cartouche.
