Default VOPO G date

OK boys I almost fell over backwards when this gun arrived. First the picture.



Now the story!

I collect EG reworks and this pistol has a renumbered G date upper with the HZa stamp mated to a 1936 receiver with VOPO markings and "bullseye" grips. I'll post detailed photos when I get a chance but the gun is a reworked HZa gun that has been reworked by the East Germans!

The dealer had no clue as to its history and sold it on Gunbroker for a "Buy It Now" price of $650.00. As a nice VOPO non import marked example of an EG rework it was worth it. The HZa stamp is a bonus.
