06 W+F with a few questions....

It does appear that the holster was definitely carried so there is some wear on the back which smooths out the stamping. That makes it a bit tough to photgraph, that and my poor ability with the camera and lighting. Thats why I tried to get a couple angles. In real life the 31 is pretty clear....

It still does not explain why the first number of that year is deeper and more sharp as the second one, did they try to hide another number ?

OK Frank,
Here are a couple more pictures taken in different light and from different angles to hopefully show that the 1 is actually a 1 and not something else. The problem is the wear which has shined up the leather to the point that it won't take good pictures without bad glare. In real life the one is pretty clear, I just can't seem to get a good picture.

Hope this clarify's.

Well it looks to me that somebody has tried to cover-up something with that first "3" stamp, for me it would have been a reason to pass that holster, style of that first stamp is different and so is the size.
