That 8 in the serial number sets up higher than the other numbers. I was once told by an engraver that an 8 is the hardest character to engrave.
From the close-up pictures, most letters and numbers appear to have been engraved.
Looks like the markings were applied after finishing as opposed to being refinished. I agree with Kwill.
