The Suhl-type stocks discussed here, side-paneled, wedge -fastened "Schnabel" foreends, usually came with uncheckered foreends. If you see one with checkering, look closely. Most often the fore checkering differs slightly from that on the pistol grip, so it was applied later, probably in America. The original commercial B Mausers also came without foreend checkering as standard up to the late 1930s,though checkering on foreend was a factory option.
