Does anyone have some original rifles with bonafide ww2 Buttplates?

I'm trying to train myself to identify them but it is very hard and I am not even 100% sure what one looks like!

thank you!

All trap door WWII butt plates will have a flat plunger.



WRA butt plates the bottom checkering will come to a point

Some WRA will be marked 2S on the back above bottom screw hole,some are not marked. The bottom screw hole will also be slightly off center.



If there is no point to checkering and have flat plunger they are Springfield
This is just a fast crash course its does get more detailed
