Questions please on my first “06/24 Bern”

Joe,
The '06 Bern Lugers are very well made and the Swiss military maintained them to a high standard. All that I have seen have had areas of refinishing, usually very well done. The sear bar on my own 1930 vintage gun is all blue.
Changing from 50 metre centre aim to a six oclock point of aim at 25 metres for target shooting would explain the foresight modification. Perhaps the sear bar surfaces have been stoned and then re-hardened to improve trigger pull and that may explain the firing pin change also?
I understand that target shooting of ex military pistols is very popular in Switzerland, so it is probable those modifications happened there ?? How is the trigger pull ?
I'm sure that Tom Heller (LugerDoc on this forum) could supply an original Swiss foresight if required.
