On the two semi-autos the prefix 10's are so different in font and depth I can't help but thinking a batch were run with the prefix and then they came back and stamped the last 5 digits.

I'm looking at a letter-prefix OM Bearcat that has the last digit elevated about half way higher than the others with a clear and even strike. It's an interesting number, as well. Is there any premium for a mis-struck SN Bearcat like that or is it fairly common?
Thanks to all,
Owen

Seems there's lots of oddities like that. Few seem to made any difference in the price of the gun though.
I've got an old 44 Carbine with a 100- serial number but it's stamped 1 0- ..... missing the 1st 0.
A "D" stamped gun I have, that was clearly done by hand, has the "D" backwards! The end label WAS printed with the "D" correct though!

One more added to the mystery... Super Blackhawk serial number "01172" with large size serial numbers.
Looks like Ruger didn't get the 80- added to this one either!!! When I have a better pic, we will get it posted.
