To me whatever caused it really does not matter so long as the finish is original.

The finish does appear to be original with some very typical holster wear ( wish I had it ) whatever did cause the blemishes on the barrel to me is part of it's history if it is blood stained I'm sorry for who's it was.

I wish I knew more about the pistols history and how it got to me

It is unfortunate that there are so many out there that try to take advantage and ruin an already historic firearm to try and make it something that it is not just for the sake of profit.
