Looks like someone has sprayed it with barbeque paint. Unfortunately this is obscuring the stippling, so although the lettering etc. and other details are consistent with a Type I SS-DA 3., that textured coating might be hiding something.

The chances are that it is original, but I would suggest looking for a better example...there seem to be plenty of good ones out there at the moment.

cast fake IMO

In some points under the coating is visible the color of the base metal that looks Buntmetall.
It can have chances to be a good one, but you should clean it to be sure of.
If you want to buy an unquestionable one then wait for anohther specimen.
