Some buyers of recently manufactured replica arms. Don't like the current manufacturers markings and proof marks. To make them appear vintage, they remove them.
It is also possible that it was scratch built fairly recently, by a very talented hobbyist. All the parts and wood for the stock, are currently available from commercial sources. Generally if the parts are marked at all. It will be very unobtrusively. If possible, remove sight, lockplate, hammer etc. To look for manufacturers markings.
