Help identify older target stocks value (edit: Bekeart)

[digi-shots]

I've had these stocks for quite a while… are they for a Single Shot Target or a Hand Ejector Bekaert?

The serial number on the butt of the left stock is 2262 and are held on with two screws and are for a round butt frame.
(#1 thru #3000?)

Any idea of value? They show a bit of wear but there's no cracks or chips, with a minor ding here or there.

Thanks!

From the link, your stocks are a 3rd Degree of Bekeart. Check out post #6.

Is there a serial number penciled inside one of the stocks?

I think I see a serial number penciled in on the inside of the RIGHT stock, and it should be in the RIGHT stock, 6 digits in length.

Sorry, doesn't look like there's a penciled serial number

Thanks for all the replies.

Any idea of value on these… ?

Valuation?

These would rarely come up for sake, but, then again, the demand for these is low.

You can still purchase a complete .22/32 HFT with these on it for under $1000–sometimes well under $1000–and so I would guess a valuation of $100 for these would be about right.

I do not know what the 3rd degree is outside of the legal system, but the gold 2 screw stocks were available from around 1911 to 1920. Post-1920 stocks had a convex top round without a medallion.

I would agree that those would not go above $100 in the condition you show, as they are oil soaked and have well worn checkering. Some will come up for sale that are almost new condition and could easily sell for above $200. Those are salvageable and could be refinished by a professional to look great. Problem is that it could cost $150 to have that done.
