Rick, you are correct on the year of manufacture so your gun would be known as a Quality 3. There are early guns that vary in engraving as stated in some of the research books. This may be one of the XX or XXX guns that Dr. Jim Stubbendieck talks about in production records book. Certainly worth a research letter.
