Is this a mistamped snap-on wrench?

Got this at the pawnshop today.  Looks like it's mistamped.
I don't have any other snap-on wrenches to compare to. 
What do you think?

I'll bet that the wrench we're looking at made it out of the Snap-On factory in someones lunch pail. Snap-On QC would never have let that pass.

there might be little pieces of someone's finger in there.

It depends whose finger it is...
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Hahaha!

Seriously, though, some people do collect "error" pieces...

I have had a Whitman and Barnes #2 with the 2 upside down on Papawswrench for a long while. I priced it at $40 to discourage a sales. Someone bought it just today at my asking price.
