Steve, thanks for the insight about the bolt head.

OK, Norme, here is what I found out about the bluing:

"...the pistol is made from steel and has a hot salt blue finish."

I am still looking to see if I can get info on when the marks are applied.

My thinking is that the serial number and arsenal marks were applied prior to bluing and the acceptance stamp applied after bluing. This theory accounts for the lack of halos on every mark except the acceptance stamp.
