The Head of the stock is Dark in some spots, but this is most likely just dirt and grime buidup from handling and use. A way to check or address that is the use denatured alcohol. This will get that dirt and crud off of there, but not hurt the finish.
Usually the head of any old stock will be a bit darker due to some oil, but not oil soaked per say. If there is no damage or softening of the wood, then it is not oil soaked. Like I said, just a cleaning and reapplication of oil will be fine and not remove any of the original "Patina". If the head is actually just a bit darker and not just dirty, then it is character that you want to try and preserve.
