Welcome to the forum.
The polished high flats and lack of "halos" on the barrel serial number are evidence of the pistol being refinished.
The letters in the grip were pantographed, likely by a post war owner.
I wonder if the small parts may be plated instead of strawed. I've never seen straw this bright and consistent.
