Hi Stephen,

The "white inlay" is an application like laquer stick or high lighting of some type. This is added by collectors so that the markings will show in photos. Lugers did not originally have anything in the markings, with the exception of the "Geischert" forward of the safety lever.

Always request a 3 day non-firing inspection when buying remotely. Any honest or reputible seller will usually offer this.
