Could it be real, but with a Fake 'S' stamp?

Think I've only seen a couple unmarked real Flips, So rare odds don't favor this one.
But either way, It's ruined now with that F'd up S whacked on it. Ch-P777

It looks like a real sight to me, but a real “lipstick on a pig” situation as it sits. The side with “S” marking was probably battered and ugly, so someone attempted to clean it up by filing it flat and added a fresh “s”.
Little to no value other than to break it down to rob the pin, spring and aperture to rebuild a better unmessed with base.

I think its real and I'm not convinced that mark on the S isn't from something hitting it. The first picture shows the classic circle around the pin. My 2 cents.
