Not necessarily so. That gun above appears to me to have been electro-penned with the 'dash 1' after the OEM rollmark. Other than some bench assembly numbers on a few PC guns I don't recall ever seeing anything electro-penned on a production gun coming out of Springfield. As evidence I present my NoDash 4506 which is configured exactly the same as an early Dash1 gun before the R1 & R3 revisions except for the 'first' triggerguard... serial# TEU20XX.
