This is a guess only mind you, but IF I had to guess, I would guess that the engraving was done post-WW2 by the lucky person who acquired it during the war and brought it home.
I am not much on engraving, but I would offer that it appears nicely done.

But which war? Back in the 80's, at a local gun shop, I observed a young man offering an FN P35 to the shop owner. Since I was interested in buying a High-Power of some sort, I sidled over. It was a blued P35 with minimal engraving, most on the slide. The white-walled young guy (my age actually) said he had carried it in Nam and had it engraved in Thailand. I have no liking for engraving and lost interest in the negotiations. But it was carefully done and looked professional.
I recently had a Buck 119 knife that had come back from Iraq with a serving Marine. It had USMC engraved on it, very well done. My fellow jarhead told me he had bought it stateside and carried it over there and had a local Iraqi artiste engrave it. So your P35 could have been originally OEM and been engraved at any time or place since it left the factory. Even a different war.
