1944 with all matching numbers, referb with counter bore and a M44 stock. Nastiest varnish paint brush job you've ever seen.
I'll try it out in the morning with several others.

Looks awfully good to me.
And it's Shellac, not varnish on the stock. That's what the Soviets applied to their rifles & is the correct finish for a War-Time M38. Very Nice.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
