Hi Fernando,
Let's cut a long story short:
You are right in assuming that this type of hooked stock originally never existed - neither in India nor in Europe.
The one that you illustrated must be modern, for what purpose ever.
As Ed supposed, a wooden hook would never have stood the recoil - please see my reply of today to his posting. This is due to the graining of the wood.
Calling this crude phantasy stock a fake would imply a bad intention on the maker's side. I do not mean to put a suspicion on anyone. This is not what this forum is for, I believe.
Just do not take this gun for an original, enough said.
Michael
