The horn forearm tips that cover the ends of the stocks seem to be a feature of German stock making. I have an 03 Springfield with G&H metalwork and an anonymous Germanic stock fairly similar to these. It has this tip treatment. Michael Petrov called it a NYC rifle, saying there were several German makers there in the 20's and 30's whose work was unsigned. Its lines aren't up to the quality of these. I'd like to see some info on Barrella.
