They are reblued. All Lugers that have been shot and show signs of age will have the 'slap' mark. Only new, unfired, or refinished Lugers will have no slap mark.
It's 'normal'. There will also be a corresponding mark inside the frame where the toggle/breechblock hits. In a perfect world, the mainspring would be balanced to eliminate or lessen the 'slap'. That rarely is the case.
