I found it's very useful to enlight dark pictures and enlarge small pictures.

For the "sunrise" stamp, here it is. Unlike the "lion" crest, this "sunrise" stamp was applied after the gun had been blued. Please note the unevenness of the stamp's edge and the halo.

And, as a small subset of prewar M1912 production, the finish of this variation is same with other ones in the period. Not rough, but not reflective either.
