It's really amazing how similar they all are? I wonder if ALL the T stocks were not coming from the same supplier, but I've never seen any particular supplier mentioned?
Do you know if/who that may have been?
Nowadays it would be that "M" fellow in Italy for the Weihrauch guns, years ago the stocks sometimes stamped "SIL", or the CS stocks for many of the English guns?

Wow, that may be the nicest HW 55 DST in captivity! Beautiful-condition, rare old rifle indeed.

Its rear sight is also interesting. Those early all-steel HW "turret" diopters must have been made in VERY small batches, it's amazing how many minor variations there are - plus, they were made in different lengths to optimize eye relief. Yours is the longest one I have seen - compare to this one of similar vintage.
