does anyone out there know what the going price is for an original WWII carbine paratrooper stock? Comes with sling and oiler. Its been a while since I have seen one for sale, and the one I am looking at is in very good condition. Thanks in advance.

    Yes, but unless you can absolutely tell by your own sight that it's real, you would be well advised to treat it as a reproduction.

    The fakes are getting better all the time. Cartouches mean nothing. A couple of ways to tell is the material the rivets are made of, the thickness of the leather, and the casted in numbers on the buttplate.

    Originals in good shape are going for between $600 and $1000.
