D19 Butt Stock Material

[ejb]

Hi

 

Over on Vern's for sale thread, Mathias posted a link to a MG forum where they discuss the MG34 butt stock material variants

1- early in walnutt from 1936 to 1938
2- early bakelite with metal tips from 1938 to 1942
3- bakelite from 1939 to 1943
4- Steel about 1943
5- mid to late war in beech from 1942 to 1945
6- Bunker mount steel butts 

Post war production (not including repros):
-Israeli "dot 1945" contract were with beech butt until 1948
-Norwegian 'whole' buttstocks.
-Russian capture 'pointed' buttstocks

 

 

So for the D19, would there be a 'correct' material?

I believe the screen used ones used the bakelite stocks. But don't quote me on that!
