No, the scars are clearly damaged metal. I'd sure like to know what causes that and if it can occur again under some conditions.

I remember that in the 1930s Mauser added metal to the back of the frame in the area of the rear toggle pin in what is sometimes called the Mauser bump. Presumably that "bump" was to prevent this rear toggle pin from coming out during firing.

Wonder if that could be what happened here ? ? ?
