I have never seen checkering on the sideplate before. This "looks" old enough that it may have happened at or near the time it left the factory. It looks smaller, but out of curiosity, how does the size and pattern of the checkering on the sideplate compare to the magazine release button, the takedown lever, and the toggles? Could this be factory checkering?
