vlim:
Nice catch! Congratulations.

Thank you Gerben.
Alan, I am not seeing a purple tinted frame, but definitely the frame has a thinner/lighter bluing than the slide - notice the "dual-tone" effect in picture below.
Do these electro-pencil sevens ("7") look atypical to anyone else but me? I have no other example to compare them with.
Warbird:
Your photo is comparing the area with the most worn finish on the pistol, i.e., the rear Grip Strap. Try it with the Frame Web forward of the Trigger Guard.
The numbers on the Barrel are stamped and not electro-penciled. The sevens look fine to me, Doug. Think about the times these HSc's were created in. WWII was about to end and everyone at the Mauser factory would know it. Over 5,000 were slave laborers who would be thinking about returning home and not the quality of their work.

Here's another photo, this time front of trigger guard

Warbird, your point about slave laborers leads me to wonder whether the "squiggly-line sevens" may not in fact be typical of German handwriting but rather of some other nationality. Note in this picture how the "squiggly-line sevens" in "177" and "176" are much different than the "straight-line seven" in 127 (posted by "Roger" in another forum).
Anyone have any insights about this style handwriting of the number "7" ?
