Overstamped Serial Number?

Yes, it does happen, usually in hidden locations.
Reversed numbers are observed pretty often, then corrected.

I have a gun that has the underside of the toggle like this, obviously a human error.

We need to be careful not to push this too far however and the parts really need to show the correct age.

So many faked guns now days, sad but very true.
