That is a very unique piece, but I'm skeptical that it is factory. Some items that lead me to believe this:

1) The 107006 product code is for a 6" adjustable sight 2206.
2) The "3" in the barrel length doesn't look the same as the "3" in the serial number or the "630" above the model number. (the following picture is a composite of all three numbers)

3) This 3" pistol has adjustable sights, were the 2213 and 2214 do not.
4) The front of the frame has remnants of the 6" 2206 lightening slot.
5) The front of the frame is rounded unlike any other 422/622/2213/2214/2206.
6) The texture of the bead blasting on the frame looks a little off.
7) The front sight doesn't match any other 22's or 3rd gens that I can tell.
8) Balancing and inverting the label colors shows the "3" with a different ink hue, and I can see a hint of a rectangle surrounding the "3"... interesting.

.
All that being said, the way to be sure is with a letter; if it is truly a 3" 2206 you have yourself one rare pistol.
