Yes that #1 is a stamp. Smaller stamps are easier to make. I actually prefer the native copies many of them show real art work. If you want to make sure pull the lock and look at the workings. I have a broomhandle mauser that was made in the afghan/pakistan area that is right down to the dimensions and markings. The reason I suspected something strange about it was there were no serial numbers. When I looked under a loop I realized that the lettering was all engraved
