K98 stock

I recently bought this K98 stock. I was told that it had been reused or captured by the Soviets. Apparently, this can be seen from the markings on the stock.


The original Nazi markings are said to have been sanded off. However, there should still be a small Nazi marking visible on the front of the stock, next to the bayonet lug.


Is this a plausible story? Could anyone provide me with some more information about this? I’m very curious to learn more about its history.
