I also found the original owner's card underneath the metal buttplate of the rifle, it apparently once belonged to one Hans Rudolf. After I refinish the stock the card will go back under the buttplate.

I think that the stocks were made from either Beech or Walnut. Mine's pretty dark, so I'm reasonably sure it's Walnut.
