Phosphorus, it could go either way - I'm thinking that the marking on the stock is Asim, as opposed to ASLM; the "leg" of the L may be just that, but I'm looking at it as Asim, with the "leg" as a continuation of surficial wood grain irregularity. I guess what pointed me that way was my google search using the terms "Bosnia Asim," which brings up a not inconsiderable number of sports-related returns associated with Asim Ferhatovic, Asim Medic, and Asim Zec. Do you know if it's common in that part of the world to list your surname initial first, e.g., "J Asim" for "Jukić, Asim", as an example?
