When the Nazis were given the western end of Czechoslovakia in the fall of 1938 the received the huge Skoda arms works which had made rifle for the Czech army, including a short barreled carbine called the Cz 33 carbine. The Germans took this handy little carbine over, called it the G33/40 and issued it to its mountain troops. The only change was the addition of a metal plate on the left side of the butt to protect the wood from the crampons fitted to the mountain troops boots. The G33/44 carbines are eagerly sought after by collectors and the prices have escalated in the last few years.
This stock is for a G33/40 carbine. It made from walnut, has some use dings, and the linseed oil finish has darkened, but the wood is intact as is the metal protective plate and the butt plate.
