I guess what confused me about the Vopo heritage is that I've had two in the past (both sold to friends as their first lugers) & this one is so different. Now that you mention it, however, I would bet that you are correct on the mag as I recently saw other Vopo with what I believe was a 1001 code forced match mag.

I agree that Vopos are kind of neat. These reworks often date back over 50 years. With so many around now ( and, possibly, the sources drying up) hopefully someone will start grouping them into various types and armory/rework editions.
