I thought the same thing. Thank you for your input.

The $64,000 question is, why would anyone with any knowledge remove the hinge pin? It was not engraved, at least not the side we see. Certainly not the easiest thing to do but maybe easier on a new gun. But could it have been done at the factory? I remember the guns in the white that were to be engraved, but the reversal makes little sense.
