You don't see that engraved Fox Proof on Sterlingworths!! That is only see on XE-Grades and higher. And, they left the Savage-Era Fox-Sterlingworth on the sides of the frame. But, other then that she's cherry!! Not!

I'd bet it barrels originally read like the bottom set here --

I agree. The bottom markings look engraved and they got the "E" wrong. Note the consistent high position of the middle post on the top barrel comparred to the bottom.
