The stocked was originally carved on mainland China in the 1930's for a Lt. in the Marines. Later a Lt. Col. (F.B. Conway) got the stock and sent it or took it to Germany and had one of Kurt Jaeger's engravers do a 1922.

Later he learned that the dragons on the stock were happy dragons and the ones on the rifle were unhappy ones. I have no clue where the rifle is today.
