Yellow crayon on the "Gesichert" lettering, right?

Cheers.

I would think "Gesichert" was originally in white. But it does show some amber color tone on guns. Actually, if it's too bright white, I would think it's not original (similarly, if "9" on grip is too fresh vivid red, it's most likely recently re-painted).

But I still believe it was white initially, and gradually turned to amber color over years.

Experts please correct me if I am wrong on this.
