Something like that, yeah.

Also, you're calling this stamp "awful". Like Sheepherder mentioned there are different kinds of stamps, some are tastefully done and in an inconspicuous location (some early stamps can even be hidden under the grips, inside the frame etc), while others are of the "billboard" type where the importer's name is proudly displayed in the most visible place on the pistol.

The beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but an educated buyer will always use it as a bargaining point and it always detracts from the value to some degree.
