While I can't locate any specific photo examples of the "halo" being enhanced by the camera flash, I do know that I have seen similar photos.
IMHO the gun is authentic, and that the difference in the appearance of the structure of the metal surrounding each number that results from the impact of the stamping (and causes the halo) is the result of the flash lighting...
Welcome to the Lugerforum Sam. It is always great to have new enthusiasts in the collector community.
