Welcome to the forum! Wished I could help you but I know nothing about the scorpions.

I'm sure someone here will be able to help you though.

was your friend in that unit, perhaps several were engraved with unit designation.

welcome from az

It looks like it is a custom unit engraving like Bearone2 mentioned. It's the USMC 3rd Light Armored Recon Battalion out of 29 Palms. This would have been a deployment during Operation Enduring Freedom in 2014.

Nice looking gun!

I think you have a Scorpion, not an Emperor Scorpion, based on the finish color and grips.

Super awesome. Looks to me like your friend had this custom engraved. Definitely ain't from the factory.

Post #4 is probably a likely answer.

That's definitely not from the factory. The previous responses are probably spot on. Welcome to the club!
