Hi , in my opinion the stock is a copy!
It looks bad to me!
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

Looking closely at the photos at the ehad of this thread, this appears to be a laminated stock ( not unusual for the MP43/44 series which, according to Senich's book, used laminated as well as solid wood stocks ).
It's hard to be definitive about this - my only observation would be that the laminates match rather poorly. This may indicate late-war manufacture - my own MP44 has a laminated stock which is of superior build quality.
personally, I'd hesitate to buy this unless the price is particularly keen.
Generally the MP43 had a larger dimension stock that the 44 and of better quality (solid wood) than the one pictured. Early versions had many more notches in the end than what I can see from yours and is probably mid war produciton at best if real.
