Look back at my comments again. My kneejerk opinion that it was fake is precisely because it looks nothing like the other pistol's engraving. One is uniform, level and very professionally cut. The other is uneven and very clearly cut by hand or low quality machine. Look at the two "e's in "Stoeger", could they be any more different from each other? Or the "W" in "New" which does not follow the slant of the first two letters or the oversized "r" in "York"?

This is hand work of the lowest quality compared to the other pistol's engraving.
