IMO, only a hands-on examination would provide a definitive answer as to it being refinished.

There are some pretty good refinish craftsmen out there. I think that if we could see a good picture of the pin it would be smoothed, that is, removed and reinserted. You are correct about the hands-on examination in the case of this pistol. A series of very specific, detailed pictures would go a long way.
