It was probably refinished after the war when brought back.
It would normally have wear on the high edges if it was original fiinish and was being carried in service.
I am leaning towards a very good reblue. If so I'm thinking you paid on the high end for a shooter.
If it turns out to be original than you did well.
Hopefully we will get some other opinions.
