Is this an authentic Gerber strongarm?

I'm going to go with "No" on this one. It has the textbook hints of a copy.

Although slightly, the "MADE IN USA/PORTLAND, OR" marking is further forward than those on mine. Also, the vertical numeration is 8-digit. All of mine have five-digit numbers. Beyond that, the beginning of the edge on a true Strongarm has quite a bit of distance from the ricasso. The edge on the one pictured is closer to the ricasso.



*Disclaimer- I'm no Strongarm expert but use all of mine quite a bit.
 
It looks like the serrations are painted, or is that just the shadow? The shield emblem is too small.
