Jim, what is the casting position number? If it is the "1" it looks to be at the same relation in both photos.
GK, It looks indented to me.

shadycon,
The numbers do not look raised to me.
He states repo, so he is not trying to be dishonest. We are the ones questioning it. I just haven't seen an Italian repro marked like that before. As Charlie mentioned, Maybe some metal was changed out.
Bill,
It just looks canted to the left a bit to me. Could just be the camera angle.

The numbers on the GB one sure look raised to me. Casting shadows off to the right of each letter/number.
JMO,

Charlie your right they are raised. It has the look of being real but it isn't.
It's real, IMO (the butt plate). Look above the 1 between the spring and the casting. You can see the shadow is on the same side of that crevice as all the letters. The shadow is on the right side. All the distances between the groups of depressions are the same. There are a couple of inclusions that are the same as the real one too.
The stock is probably a replacement and someone used a real butt plate. Wish I would've been the winner.
I don't see where the figures are raised. I think they are indented.
