If a stock maker cares about doing things the way they were originally done, they ahoukd stamp the numbers.

The stock wood itself does appear to be factory original. It appears to have been over sanded to eliminate the factory checkering in order to attempt something more fancy looking. The forend is not original at all.

I'm in agreement about the forend, I have a strong suspicion the stock has been reshaped. However this will be field gun and it feels so good in the hand.
