Default Possible Overstamp on the first digit.

To me, under magnification, it looks like the first digit is the number "1" stamped over an existing "2"...

The font however appears correct... so it may have been done at the factory.

Ed, have you seen other examples of Simson Lugers with overstamped numbers?
