"STUT TWIS"?

[Roundsworth]

I had an 1877 Grade 0 12 gauge with mistakes on the lock plates. The 'R's were unfinished and were 'P's!

Photos should show this is hand engraved for this SN. Engraving wasn't intentional but likely the result of lingering alcohol fumes on a Saturday workday or else a case of consumption.
The less likely alternative is that a previous owner had the gun restored in China and I don't mean China, Maine. (Try making sense of assembly instructions with most items nowadays.)
Best Regards,
Erick.

PS Photos would be nice to see. Take solace in the fact that this motivated you to purchase TPS. Purchasing TPS was the best, most enjoyable gunning investment I ever made.

Also, if you ever sell this lifter you can imitate the internet gun dealers who would label it a "Rare Factory Error" and regardless describe it as "like new for its age."

I'm surprised that Dave F. has not already done that.
