The stock was made of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosewood '''Rosewood'''] or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebony '''Ebony'''] and the brass plates are to prevent the wood from splitting to ensure the blade is held securely. The inside edge of the wooden stock is faced with brass to prevent the stock from wearing.
