Agreed, they are hand punched. You can see where the tube is dented in from the stamping, and the stamps are all over the place for alignment. Also agree the C/i\ has the arrow upside down in relation to the open side of the C. The scope bracket is also one of those modern copies and not an original Cdn bracket. You can see where he has stamped the scope number onto the bracket. I can't say that I have ever seen that before.

You would think that for a possible profit of several thousand dollars, he could have used a pantograph for the engraving.
