If you are referring to the beech wood stock, I fitted that one to my 1907 Spandau that serves as my WW1 German re-enactment rifle. The Bavarian unit marked stock that is presently on the Danzig was actually what I had sourced for the 1907 Spandau for her restoration but I have since swapped them in the interest of preserving the beech stock. Both of these rifles were very accurate during my range trials but I did not want to put the beech wood stock through more stress than it has already seen as it is has battle damage on it (you can see the shrapnel hit on the fore stock on the left side just above the sling buckle in parade configuration, it is quite deep and you can see a bit of light through it when the stock is removed).
The 1905 Danzig has come a long way from what she was when I got her, to what she is now. I had to dig deep in my file photos for a shot of her from the early days. I still have her original stock that was cut down but has beautifully intact markings that match my 1904 Danzig that adds to the research for that early period of production. For those that don't remember what she looked liked or for those who are reading this thread for the first time, here is what she looked like back then:
Here is are pictures of the two restored Gewehr 98s (see Deagle, I have been busy
). The 1905 Danzig is the one in the blonde walnut stock.
