That is trippy.
Upon close inspection, the Smith & Wesson stamp is super-imposed over the regular caliber stamp in that location.
An interesting goof. By that late in the war, inspectors may not have cared about cosmetics.
Another side note: Unlike the majority of these, your gun was commercially proofed post-war at the London, not Birmingham proofhouse.
