A great explanation Tom. I have never personally seen this type of serial number modification before... Your theory is certainly very plausible. It would prevent a finished gun from being destroyed as a result of the mistake... and would allow for accountability using the modified serial number.
Has anyone else seen examples of this type of stamping?
