He rather approved them, not stamped personally, because he was a senior inspector. Stamp was applied by lower rank workers.
Besides, what acceptance was used on the Izhevsk SKS carbines?

Ok, answering my question myself. Found that Izhevsk stocks were marked with АП acceptance. Same was used on the 1942 - early 1943 Mosins. Unfortunately I do not discovered name of the owner. Yet )) Hope will do this in the future

You mean British sovereigns didn't personally put their stamp on all those Lee Enfields over the years ?
