Probably not, if that's the case it's more than likely a "Bubba enhancement".

I'm just racking my brain trying to remember where I heard this. It was mentioned in a discussion about some other kind of holster where the closure strap stud had a similar "paint" finish, and it was said that it was a type of refurbish they did on captured holsters somewhere in Eastern Europe.
