Odd marking on FXO mag.

P.08,
This mag has been numbered by someone that was not familiar with Number Stamping as is shown by the serious denting around the figures, The deeper the stamp the deeper the dent. Very Poor Workmanship.
The factory or a professional Smith would remove the Mag bottom and stamp the sleeve on a mandrel, thereby eliminating the denting, and also would have used a more consistent force with the hammer.
Compare the 4096 with the P.08 which was Stamped at the Factory.
