good observations, I thought about this same thing when I purchased the gun; I have the box with the "spent" .357 casing; I have shot .357 with it; I own more PD340's all nib and all including this one weigh exactly the same.

Keep it. Factory error guns are worth more to collectors. I had an HK P7M13 that I bought for 1400.00. The frame was marked M13 and the slide was marked M8, and the serial number was the same on both. Kept if for a couple of years and then sold it for 2600.00.

Spend a little time around here and you'll learn that a collector of incorrectly marked S&W's and revolvers made from bins of leftover parts of random specs, will need to rent a small warehouse to store them all. Such guns are common. Most newer production S&W revolvers currently have very little collector interest, and probably won't for some time to come. I personally wouldn't pull the trigger on the subject 340. It's beyond the pale of production inconsistency and well into the territory (to me, at least) of questionable safety. No telling what fool assembled the thing, or what other surprises might be waiting.
Sometimes the exact same item will vary in value, according to the same person, depending on whether they own the item in question, or are looking to acquire the item.
