Just a misunderstanding, when you stated, you thought it was aftermarket engraving, I thought you meant the receiver, but I see now you just meant the serial number.

But never waste an opportunity for good photos.... grin

Clarification.
Whilst I am unable to view the images you have posted, I will only add that my opinion was based solely on the KB 138497,on trigger guard tang, unheard of with letter prefix and
having been re engraved and not looking correct. I am not in any way questioning the integrity of the gun.
