S. A. / N.F.R.  & S. A. / G.A.W. Double Stamp

 

(Springfield Armory / George A. Woody)

(Springfield Armory / Norman F. Ramsey).

 

These stocks show up after George A Woody passes away in August of '44. 

​

Cartouche double stamped stocks are relatively uncommon, there are reports of many different types, generally thought to have been rebuilt during the war. 

​

Regarding the GAW/NFR, to the best of my knowledge no one living knows the precise circumstances as to how they came about. 

​

Generally we see two schools of thought:

• These may have been rifles that were unissued that were recalled for a second inspection.

• These were double stamped intentionally in remembrance of G.A.W.
