Invoices (pre- and post-war) generally do not list the type of stocks unless there is an extra charge for them. Don and Roy usually will identify the type of stocks in a letter by stating what was standard for the model at the time it was shipped. For example, a 44 Magnum shipped in 1956 will be described in the letter as having target stocks made of Goncalo alves. This is most likely correct, but it is not shown on the invoice. The magnum would simply be listed as a 44 Magnum, 6 1/2, B. Registered Magnums are the exception because they were a custom ordered revolver.
