'Twould be simple, indeed, to take a look at the buttplate, and note the name of the manufacturer. I'd bet that it says either Bishop, or Fajen. Back "in the day", they'd sell you one inlet for your barrel contour, finished, padded, stippled or checkered, all for additional money over the cost of the semi-inlet wood.

It may be a Fajen or Bishop, but it's not 1930's vintage. That's a 1950's or 60's vintage stock, far too late to be original to the date of sale.

That was my thought too..... both Fajen & Bishop places were only about an hour & a half from us.............. after Larry bought Fajen's out.. I got down to the new place only once.
