C grade engraving error

Ahfoxman good to hear from you. You must be referring to the extinct species of the "Wilson" bird from deep in the backwoods of the old country.

We have a 16 ga VHS in the family that was purchased from a big box store at a discount because the trigger guard had a different serial number. The inletting and finishing around the trigger guard looked perfect for a gun that had the original stock and forend. When we got the gun home we removed the trigger guard screw and rotated it to find the underside of the trigger guard was stamped with the correct serial number. Apparently the engraver engraved the wrong number on it and it went out the door. I will see of I can find a picture.

Found the pictures but they are blurry to say the least but you can see in the first picture the serial number of the gun is 114178 is on the stock and guard is engraved 113178. In the second you can see 114178 is stamped on the bottom of the trigger guard. Sorry for the picture quality we took them with a camera phone several years ago.
