1906 DWM Swiss Commercial - need opinions

So that's what he second number is on the barrel. It really fooled me because it is 5 digits like the SN and it is above the SN (all military Lugers I have seen have the bore dimension under the SN).

It might be a redo, but -
The toggle retaining pin does not look blued to me. Don't you think that could be dirt or rust in the groove? Do you think someone would file the pin down and not scrape the blue out of the cracks?

And there are halos on the numbers under the barrel. Doesn't that show it is original?

It says there are no markings on the holster, so I assume it is commercial or a repro - the holster looks new so it could be a repro.
