It looks like quarter sawn beech to me, I have an Original mod45 that I refinished, it's almost identical

I have a walnut stocked meteor, but have never seen another. I always thought they were perhaps short of a beech blank at the stocking shop at Sile and used a walnut one to complete an order. Certainly not a factory option. Mines an early one with the one piece cocking arm.

I'm an ex carpenter,
That looks like wide grain Beech to me, perhaps a re finished factory standard stock.
walnut looks a lot deeper garain & richer even if stained than the one in the pic usually anyway though some American walnut can be quite plain.
Just an opinion though & I could be well wrong of course!

Agree with you on this one John, looks definitely like Beech.

I have to agree with you guys, showded the pic to my good friend Colin whos a retired master carpenter /joiner, its beech has Jon said But wasnt there a special prize at the game fair one year, a Walnut stocked Meteor to celebrate something like the Millionth Meteor
