An original DHBP will/should have the SN in chalk on the backside.
The stock will/should have a size letter stamped in ink on the butt in order to correspond with the frame size. Stock size corresponding to frame size has implications for people you see on this forum seeking take off stocks to fit on their guns.
I placed a photo of the browning on the DHBP. I think shoe dye would just be a cover and not a correction.
