Help IDing probable German carved stock circa 1939

[45flint]

I just bought a CZ air rifle made in 1939. It came with a awesome custom carved stock that I believe to be German? Germany at that point occupied Czechslovakia. Another collector said that the V style flute is very usual? I did see one example that was similar on the German Hunting Guns website. Does anyone know anything about the origin of this style of flute? Thanks

Below is a link to a series of pictures of all the carving on the stock, you have to scroll down to see them all. Interested in any clue as to the carvers origin? To me it seems very German? Very usual to have this quality of stock on a airgun? Thanks

Except for the flute at the comb, the carving has signs of being "after market", maybe by a talented former owner but certainly commissioned by an owner. As to the flute, it is a little familiar but I can't offer an authoritative opinion as to the origin of the style.

You might have better luck posting this on one of the airgun forums as there is quite a base of collectors of antique Airguns on them

I just did a quick search on the Vintage Airgun site and saw theses pictures. Got to be your rifle? I also looked up the CZ v35 and v47 and saw that they were made in a plain sporter and a military trainer style. Obviously this rifle is a custom one off most likely done in Germany in the period sporting style of stocks. Pretty cool BB gun. And you can still get 4.4mm lead balls for it.

Yes I have posted this gun on the Airgun forums. Was really trying to zero in on the style of carving and its origin. Did not know if Carvers had regional styles? I assume Germany as well given the Oak leaf design, even though the gun is from Czechoslovakia. But it is so highly unusual to go to this expense with a Airgun? Typically this sort of detail would be on sporting rifles of the day? But these were built as well as firearms in this time period. Actually the correct caliber is 4.45 on these. German Airguns of the time were 4.4mm

Are there any books on prewar German carvers or carved sporting rifles? Like to see examples from the era?
