That particular site wasn't more clarifying, but I did find a site that said that the importer "Ry...something" did sometime stain stocks with a black color and people just remove the color, so I guess that's a false alarm. I do recall seeing the name of that importer in the chain of ownership prior to Klein's.
Last question re the gun here. It is said that all period Italian firearms, in addition to the year in Arabic, also had a roman numeral corresponding to the year of the march on rome, i.e. the beginning of fascist rule in 1922.(?) So shouldn't Oswald's rifle barrel have a XVIII or something similar? There's no mention of it in Frazier's testimony and the pics you have displayed in your various threads don't show Roman numerals...
