I too ch do under buttplates for surprise finds. The Lefever stock that Mr. Signore mentioned above was one of the few that I have personally found. Another one was finding two packs of matches in plastic wrap inside the butt of my Grandfsthers old Btowning Light Twelve.
In regards to a smith "marking" his work. I tend to lean towards the 'shoildnt do it' side. Custom work is one thing. But a restoration of repair should appear as untouched as possible when the work is done.
