Jim,

they probably made a mistake in refilling the ink in the printing
machine.
Lack of quality control or too much pressure on the employees.
Or, who knows, the first attempt of "le chevaliers sans blason" to
sabotage the red dot. 
But, in any case,  keep it:it'll became a collector piece soon.

Ernesto
