I think I did good...opinions?

Thanks. I've got a couple things to add and even MORE questions.

TOOL
The magazine tool is steel, not aluminum. It isn't painted, but looks to be an old blue that has gone gray. A few areas and the screwdriver end have what looks to be shades of bluish/brown heat discoloration.

MAGAZINES
I did a search on Danish magazines and only found pics of those with "bullseye" follower buttons. Did Denmark also make checkered ones? I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking at as far as the casting flaw. Could you elaborate?
I know the wooden follower has been overmarked as you can see that "5964" was the original mark. Did armorers have a standard size stamp when marking magazines, or are there instances of different sizes depending on the armory/armorer?

GUN FINISH
Just to educate me....what indications do you see of an "old reblue" on the barrel & upper receiver? The inside of the receiver is "bare", I don't see any obvious signs of polishing/buffing on the blued areas of the receiver, and the serial # has a "halo". The only thing "odd" to me is that the barrel has a slightly different finish than the rest of the gun and has a light barrel proof mark, but the receiver/barrel witness mark appears to be "perfect" and it has obvious holster wear at the muzzle & sights, so I attributed it to different bluing rates and a light hammer blow. What else should I look for?
