Never seen one like this. It appears to be hand cut and not "etched".
You really need to get the info from the employee. The "supposedly" former employee provenance does not count for much. Ruger Records is not adept at knowing what an employee might have had done, either inside or outside the Factory, unless it is one of the 20 Year Service firearms.
