Frank, I'm not basing my assesment of the Mauser on the shine, but on the uneven surfaces, buffed out edges and muddled roll markings. Compare the crispness of your pistol's edges, roll markings and the slide's finger serrations to the pistol in question. I think it will become a little more obvious.
Again, I did put in the disclaimer that I was basing this opinion on the current photos.
