Vopo restoration, 1906/1907 test
 

Ted
I want to thank you for the excellent restoration job that you accomplished on the Vopo Luger (two matching fxo mags) that I recently obained from you.

This Lugers frame, sn 29, is that of a 1906/1907 Prussian test luger. Its grip safety has been removed and replaced with a 1908 type safety. The front strap marking G.F.M.G.8. signifies: Garde-fusilier-Regiment, Machinengeweher-Kompagnie waffe no. 8. Another 1906/1907 Prussian test Luger in my data base : sn 28 is marked G.F.M.G.10.

Thank you Jan, that means a lot to me!! <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" />
It also had remnants of the first safety marking from the grip safety variation, so it was double marked with GESICHERT twice (two locations) which I found very interesting!
