Wouldn't the "GERMANY" stamp indicate an exported gun, so why do you suspect a German refurbish?

I don't think I would be too worried about the double number on the bolt though. It looks like those "one number off" factory mistakes that was corrected. I have seen this on quite a few guns, and the most likely scenario IMO is that the worker who stamped it had a bad day, and the error was corrected before the gun left the factory. Could have been done by the worker who stamped it to begin with, or the worker who assembled the gun. It would be less likely that a modern day owner happened to find a bolt that close in the number range and renumbered it. I have had two or three guns with similar number changes, so I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
