Overstamped Serial Number?

This is a great gun to discuss.
Especially for some beginners, early Mauser guns often have mixed fonts, on this gun all 4 numbers 5308 differ from the barrel and frame. What this says is that the manufacturing process at Mauser was different than at DWM or at the very least the serializing was.

This separate serializing would tend to increase the number of human errors between stamping of different parts at different times.

I really don't have much of a problem with this gun.
