Gun Show Buy: What do I have?

I have a Luger which seems to pass all the above "reblue tests" but might have been reblued by a more clever artist. It has the following questionable area:

The serial number on the front of the frame is somewhat weak compared to my other Lugers, but still quite readable. All of the other numbers on the gun are deeper.

Does lack of depth here prove reblue, or were some guns merely stamped lightly?
