Pietta 1851 Hickok pair?

Well I ordered a second Pietta 1851 Hickok Pietta to have a pair - about 4 months ago I bought the 1st one.

Well it arrived and there are 2 cosmetic issues about it - it is a CL 2013 year mark like my first one - but 1) the recent one lacks the notch for the carbine stock my first one has, and 2) the laser engraving looks much deep and less detailed on the recent one - but is fine and just like the other on the barrel and recoil shield. I am sure some variation is normal, but it looks significantly different - I am wondering if there was not some setting on the machine that got messed up or if they changed their patterning or something --- anyways, wondering what to do. Anyone else noticed an issue with the engraving? Also the second one does not have the CL year mark on the same place as the other one - it is tucked up almost under the front part of the trigger guard - anyone noticed that change?

If I send it back there is no guarantee I will get one with a carbine stock notch or better engraving - right?

it is from Cabelas --- the more I look at it i am liking the depth -- it matches the barrel style of 'engraving' more -- it does look a bit different than the other one but it is not bugging me as much

- i do wish that it had a stock notch though

I'll upload a couple of pics of it in a bit -

In the pic above, the one on the left is the new one - it is much deeper etched but not as blued - Also it has no date proof marks on the right part of the frame like the other earlier one (also CL 2013) - they are on the barrel next to the wedge and under the frame under the front of the trigger guard. I am now thinking on keeping them both - even though they are different a bit - What do you think? Which one do you like better?

I just wish the second one had a cutout for the stock in the grip like the first one - even though the recoil shields are not cut out for it.

neat stock
