    Not that uncommon. It's called a 'broken stamp' firearm. If you emphasize it, it may slightly lower the price someone is willing to pay for it.

    If placed at auction, show the firearm for what it is..a good, solid, nice looking gun. Show a closeup photo of the broken-stamp image, but ignore it in your product description.

    Bottom line: Most likely it will value as any other gun of the same make/model and condition.

    I'm not up to speed on the valuation of said firearm, but others will chime in on what they are running lately. You can also check closed auctions that have sold for the best 'trend' in current prices. Best, Joe

    I did have a S&W Model 10-1 that was marked Model 101 with no spaces. I spoke to Roy Jinks, and he minimized it, but when I sold it, the final bid was much higher than I had expected.
