Late Mauser small parts bluing

In the last pic by the cartridge ejection port...is that pin not supposed to be silverish white? If it is blued...then not normal? I think that is what mrerick was saying...Also shouldnt there be some aging on the bluing? Or is there a recorded versions...that show this correct? Just trying to increase my knowledge. It sure does look good...could this be a DDR or Berliner Polizei redo with out stampings?

A very nice Luger, but I'm with Alanint....there's subtle signs of refinish....the" borders" around the frame ears are "soft"....the biggest giveaway I see is the middle toggle piece.... look how sharp the bevel is on the back half of it, and how its smeared and rounded further forward.
