Remember you are not seeing any frame wear above the takedown because in the photo provided the toggle is back and the upper receiver retracted behind the sideplate. Also, the bolt has a correct plum color for this era Mauser pistol. The very light wear on the grips also match the balance of the pistol's condition.
Hey, there were some people that obtained pistols back then and just put them away. They don't all have to beat up.
