Mark on Re-Barreled Swiss M1900 Luger

The only thing on the bottom is the stamped serial number.

There is no corresponding mark like a pliers jaw...

I'm beginning to wonder if something hard was dropped on it, but it is perfectly centered on the top of the barrel...

I guess I'll just have to accept it as a handling mark...

Stefan, thank you for confirming the bluing color corresponds to W+F production. Can you also confirm that the replacement parts were salt blued? The interior of the barrel appears blued as well. The reinforced W+F extractor also is evidence of refurbishment at W+F, but it did escape the "U" shaped rear sight filing...

I discovered C.K.C. import markings (FGS Firearms?) underneath the right grip, which points to import after 1968 but before 2002
