I understand what you are saying. I checked the photo again and the white grease does obscure some of the double strike on the serial numbers but there is a halo present around the barrel C/M proof. I don't know the provenance of this particular pistol but it appears that Norme does. Perhaps with that knowledge, this would be questionable. Based on face value of the photo, the double struck serial number does not bother me.
