Anyone else think that the 8 on the barrel looks to be up-side-down?

Definitely David. An easy thing to happen when the number is nearly symmetrical and is stamped by hand. I am sure a lot of 6's and 9's were also stamped upside accidently down during the production process. It probably didn't make any difference with the ZERO's...

The "8" on the frame also looks upside down to me. At least the fella doing it was consistent.
