I don't see a Monte Carlo stock offered as an option in the 1905 or 6 catalogues, but from the first "Campfire" catalogue of 1907 onward they are offered for $7.50 extra. It was still a $7.50 option in the 1939 catalogue. That is an awefully plain piece of wood for an early C-Grade, and the C-/CE-Grade normally had checkered stock cheeks. That kind of looks like a stock off a later A-/AE-Grade. Maybe it was back to the factory at some time for a restock and the owner only sprung for an A-/AE- quality stock. A Callahan letter, if the card is still available, will tell how it originally left the factory, but wouldn't cover any subsequent rework.
