Any old-timers out there remember the REAL Pachmayr??

I'm trying to track down as much info as I can on my new (to me) rifle. I'm wondering if this stock might have been made in the original Pachmayr shop. It has the Pachmayr White Line recoil pad (of the famous lawsuit with Winchester). I know that the Pachmayr name was bought and is currently used by Lyman (not the same at all), but I don't know how to find out if the gunstock was made in the Pachmayr custom shop. Any ideas/recollections/hints/rumors?
How does one figure out where/when a custom stock was made?

Here's some pics of the rifle:

Here's an old rag with an article on Pachmayr Gun Works:

Pachmayer Gunworks made custom everything, and they had a little stamp they would mark stocks with. I recently had a Frank Pachmayer original stock in my shop, it was beautiful work.

Many custom stockmakers do not mark their work, many do. Unless you know who did the work, it's just a guess trying to name the maker.
 
Original shop was south side of..

L.A. Then moved out of area before being sold to Lyman back mid-80's????

Recall seeing an article about the father, Frank, working in shop surrounded by
files of various styles and lengths. Think it was a late 70's "Guns" magazine??

Likely have to compare against known models, maybe contact the NRA dope Bag or the firearm museum for any known references.
