Hi Andy,

The "white inlay" is an application like "laquer stick" or high lighting of some type such as chalk or white crayon. This is added by collectors so that the markings will show in photos.It is easily removed with a tooth brush and oil or solvent.

Lugers did not originally have anything in the markings, with the exception of the "Geischert" forward of the safety lever.
