The dimple in the center of the Swiss cross is found only on the very early 1899 preproduction models. The dot was a registration point for hand stamping, as opposed to roll engraving, of the rays on the crest.

Yes,
That is how the safe position is marked on Model 1900 and 1906 Lugers

I do not necessarily agree that this gun has been refurbished. It may have been, but to my eye there are no obvious signs.
