Please Help! Enfield Buttstock Markings

[Frost Cracked]

I'm trying to find out more about an enfield buttstock I purchased. It doesn't quite look like wallnut, a collegue at work thinks it may be ash. It's some kind of hardwood, at any rate.

The stock is stamped with two series of markings though. One right under the stock grip, and one under the area covered by the buttstock

Stock Grip

SLAZ
*Crown*
3
S

Butt
SLAZ
42

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's Aussie, here's a link to a list of Lithgow markings. You should find the Slaz in the list, maybe the rest as well.

Thank you very much!

Your welcome. The crown above the 3 above the s is an inspectors mark, which varies in number and letter from inspector to inspector.

If it is a Slazenger (Australian sporting goods maker who made tennis racquets and cricket bats) made butt it is almost certainly Australian Coachwood, a native hardwood substitute for walnut originally used in the coach/buggy making business which turned out to make a good stock wood as it was stable and did not warp much, but is more prone to splitting than walnut if allowed to dry out.
