Identification of a stamp within stock of a SWP45

[Killerfish67]

I am needing help with this stamp within the stock of my SWP45. From what I understand the rifle is all correct with S/N of 51493a

It's E/WaA63 .... commonly found in the channel of Brunn I guns. Attached is a prominent example from an aL-block (1944). Just be aware that there is "something" slopped inside the channel, as the wood inside should be raw as shown in the second pic.

the combination of lower & uppercase block letters is odd looking, assuming they did this to contrast with the ai block marking??

Thank you so much! And I believe that’s the only thing wrong with this rifle is that someone had oiled up the stock!

It does look odd, but here's wood SN from an "aK" block.... and whatcha think of the bolt on this "L" block (dot 1943)??

perhaps as time went on & stamps wore, it was approved to use the upper case letter, until the replacement stamp was received? Sign of token resistance by coerced Czech workers? Thanks for the pix!

It’s just normal use of different letter stamps that were available to the factory.
