Curious about halo's

I was taking some close-up pictures of a navy luger I have. Looking at the navy proof marks on the left side of the receiver It appeared to have been double stamped on one of the proof stamps. Is this common on proof stamps? Also looking at the halo's on the serial number on the underside of the barrel. They just don't really look right. Shouldn't a halo be uniform around each number? And the more I look at the ones on the barrel, it looks like there was a stamp applied over what appeared to be the original stamping. It makes me wonder if the barrel was re-blued and re-stamped. I am just curious what the thoughts were out there on these. Its amazing what you can really see with a good close-up picture of items.
