[LUGER]

Wanted to know what the difference between WW2 and
postwar buttstocks, were the originals WaA stamped
did they make the bakelite type postwar, can anyone
show pictures showing the differences.

bump,

i am wondering the same thing.

Bakelite was first, then wood. Not all were Waa marked. I have many wood stocks, if they were marked its been scrubbed off. I have however sold a very few mint WWII stocks with Waa marks. The way to tell a post war bakelite stock from a WWII one is the ring around the backplate screw, small (1/8") for WWII, large (3/8") for postwar.

what is the backplate screw, can you show picture,do the postwar wooden buttstocks have the wooden dowels/plugs
at the rear corners to reinforce the edges like on mine.

The backplate screw is only on the baklite stocks as the stock is two piece. I have seen many wood stocks with the Waffenmiester dowel reinforcement, they are WWII. As far as I know, all post war stocks were re-used WWII or baklite.
