Highlighted serial numbers

The white is simply to highlight the marking or stamping. Collectors use markers / sticks that is removable and will not hurt the finish or gun.

It is totally acceptable to do this (must be of non-caustic material and removable).

BTW, the white in the "safety" area Gesichert, is the only area that was orginally marked with white.

They sell marking sticks at Brownells, I bought a white, gold and silver, for around 5 or 6 dollars apiece.
