Scott,

The white lettering is exactly what you thought. It was applied by a dealer or collector to enhance the markings for photos, etc. It could be Laquer stick (available from Brownells), white crayon or even chalk. The solvent will remove it, but you can replace it if you so desire.

The only area that white lettering was factory applied is in the word "Gesichert" at the safety.

Ron
