What do you think?

Well on the advice of others, I successfully removed the grips and was a little disappointed to find out that the grips appear to have a different serial number than the rest of the components. The number appears to be an 11, but on the left grip there is a rogue number 2 next to the 11. The font of the 11 is strange as they look just like two parallel lines as if they were struck using a standard blade type screwdriver.

I also found where a previous owner actually engraved their Social Security number in the frame.

I assume that as a result of these two discrepancies that the value of the piece is affected significantly?
