Is this a naval issued Luger?

As far as I know, by 1939 military Lugers were completely blued - the strawing on small parts had been abandoned in mid-1937.
However this gun seems to have a strawed ejector, which would be incorrect for this variation.
Or is it just wearing?

I do not intend to downsizing your new (and highly desirable) Navy Luger - which is simply gorgeous - but this detail really caught my attention.
(On the other hand it is a huge problem, as it is a unnumbered part that can be replaced by a correct one, if strawed)
Greetings,
Douglas.
