Markings on 1936 S/42

I think it has a certain VoPo style. The marks are a crude attempt to remove earlier proof marks (probably Western-German ones, as many of them went through West-German proof houses). The renumbered receiver looks like it has VoPo-style dies used, pretty similar to my VoPo frankenluger.

I think the receiver was not part of the original pistol and was replaced at some point in time.
