This is one for the record book. Rare factory labeling error with warning printed on the receiver and the barrel! Likely one of a kind and worth thousands!!!
Just discovered an extremely rare Ruger MKII...One of a kind factory error!

A possible barrel swap was my first thought. Still a nice looking gun; even with the repeat warning.

That would make a good survival gun for waiting in the wild for rescue,
foraging wild game,
defending against predators,
passing the time reading the barrel and slide.
(ok it's "barrel and receiver" not "... slide" ... my bad)

Right up there with the S&W revolver that has two internal locks.

The problem is this: Can you prove it left the factory that way? If it is a barrel swap it isn't worth any more than the standard gun.
Very likely less

I can't believe there are weirdos that would pay "thousands" for a extra warning ! Heck I pay extra, a little , for NO warning !
You ever see how much people will pay for a messed coin/Banknote?
I once sold a dollar bill with an extra line of ink, as in it was darker on a single spot, a lone about 1/8" by 1/4", for a down payment on my car.

So, this other thread about building a stainless Ruger MKII from parts -- started by someone who just happens to have your exact screenname, avatar, join date, post count, and location -- is perhaps why one should be a bit skeptical about claims of "one-of-a-kind" "factory errors," high values, and such.
