Really don't see a bad one in the bunch, but #33 does it for me.

I know you hate me, but that’s beside the point. I see you are looking at Cecil’s high end stuff in the $2000-$1750 range per blank. Cecil has some pretty nice English in the $500-$750 range but you have to sort through a lot of photos to find a suitable one. I found some with straight in the grip grain that turned out very nice $750. One blank I put on an SC3 grade Perazzi sporting as a custom fitted stock. It’s pretty darned nice. Good luck.
Socialism is almost the worst.

I'll vote for 1-H (the first one), but 38 and 33 are just fine too

33, 38, 19, a lot of good choices to pick from. They all look good with some having a bit extra. Do consider that they might look different when turned but by being equal figure on both sides they should still be a fine stock. As I said, any one sided blank runs the risk of becoming very plain when turned, it might get better or it could turn into a plain grade with neither color or figure. Two sided blanks almost never do. I think Cecil did find you several great blanks to pick from. At this level it is personal taste.
