You can compare the edge appearance to the one you're looking at. Softness and roundness would point to refinishing and buffing.

I don't know what the Danish serialization requirements were.

Mrerick, thanks for your reply -- your Swedish Lahti is a beauty !! No doubt the one I am looking at has been buffed and reblued - my main concern centers around the absence of the SN on the frame. Perhaps a blank frame could have been matted to a marked receiver ?? More and more I am thinking it is a parts/refurbish gun.

Thanks,
Wayne
