Picked up this triggerguard off of numrich and it just came in the mail. Looks decent overall except for one thing....the qnw mark has a rectangular stamp around it. Never seen this before. Examples ive owned previously did not have this, and ones I see on the picture reference also lack this rectangular box. Is the whole qnw stamp on this piece post war? or fake? Triggerguard looks to be ground and reblued aswell. I dont mean to throw around accusations, as ive had very positive dealings with numrich in the past, but this looks funky. Here is a link to where I bought it, hopefully this is allowed as it is not a auction:
