RHK did manufacturer them, can you perhaps remove it to look for the logo? Its not always there, sometimes they get missed, but my copper scale does have their logo where its milled out.

My example doesn't have the typical interior marking in the milling pocket, thanks for confirming the heritage though!
Just received my replacement XM-18, due to the first one having terribly bad lock stick. Not without effort though. The dealer basically insinuated I was retarded and didn't know what I was talking about(at least that's how I took it). He seemed to think I was bothered by some dirt on the lock face, when in fact I really don't care what the lock face looks like. However, if there is visual marring *and* it has massive lock stick, well now we have a defect and a problem. He still claims he flipped it for an hour with no lock stick, which is either an incredible coincidence or an outright brazen lie. Anyway, in the end he entertained my complaint, and remedied the issue adequately. So B+/A- rating. The new one feels fantastic, lock effortlessly disengages, and wouldn't you know it, the lock face is free from imperfections. Hollow re-grind town, tally hoe(I will never financially recover from this)!

I believe older RHK scales did not have pocket milling, they were solid, and more rare to find these days. However, I cannot confirm whether they had "RHK" branding in the inside. Double check my claims though because I am not experienced with Hinderer
