Hi Gerben,
Your comment urged me to take a much closer look, but even under magnification, and high contrast and negative images I can't see evidence of a weld repair and resurfacing to remove the "gesichert". The surface of this area looks original to me as far as metal preparation goes... I can't speak to whether or not the metal has been refinished.
