For pistols which are originally French-market commercials, I am pretty sure you are correct.

I know from another similar pistol: Originally a Mauser (byf) from 1941. The gun received a 120mm barrel caliber 7,65mm, a grip safety and the "cross in sunburst". I know the gunmaker/-dealer who has done this work (including the "cross in sunburst") around 1960. According to him the grip safety was installed by the Waffenfabrik Bern.

Fake ist the wrong word for this kind of pistols. Swiss gunmakers/-dealers produced these Lugers for Swiss shooters, who wanted a nice shooter similar to the pistol of the Swiss armed forces. The dealers and their customers knew that these guns were not original Swiss Lugers.

Even if it is not original, it is an interesting and collectible gun - but the price is much to high. These kind of guns must be substantial cheaper than Lugers in original condition - at least that's my point of view.
