No, the first (few, perhaps) production run of the Scars did NOT have the word "Scar" on the inside of one of the arms (sorry, I'm at work & forgot if it was the right or left). Subsequent production runs, however, DID have the word "Scar" embossed on them. I was actually working as a manager (for an entire three-week stint) at an OPD at the time of their release. Hope this helps.
