Default Model 10-5 2" with a "heart" stamp in crane

Hi everyone,
recently picked up a model 10-5, 2" barrel. On the crane there appears to be a "heart" shaped stamping. Curious if this is something S&W would of ever used, maybe if the gun was refinished? Or is this just a personal mark someone added?
Thanks!

I have a couple of guns with that heart stamp in the same place. I think it's a S&W inspector's stamp.
