Witness mark on my DWM 1917

From this photo, the mark the receiver was applied before the bluing, and the mark on the barrel is after the bluing, which makes lots of sense to me -- one of them had to be fixed to align the other one (floating one) to it. From what I read in the past, was the theory saying both were floating (i.e. both applied as the result of a single 'blow').... I had hard time to make sense out of single blow theory.

Edit: Most important, it looks good to me
