I've seen a few Brazilians with concave stocks, but only a very few.
I'm skeptical that the Factory had any left in 1946, but of course we'll never know.
Since so many Brazilians were in pretty rough shape, there were almost certainly some with broken grips. So, I wonder if the importers put the concave grips on them. We are talking about Navy Arms and Century Arms here, two large importers that had dealt in surplus for decades. Maybe they had surplus concave grips that had never been used.
