Well, it's not a VoPo, just a P08 with VoPo grips.

But Mauser did use a number of P08 pistols for comparative trials and parts testing during their start-up of the post war production run. We have some documents from the Mauser archives available that clearly show comparison tests between P08 pistols, both DWM and Mauser, and post-war Parabellum pistols.

The 'Mauser Werke Oberndorf a Neckar' is the old company name, in 1975 the switch was made to Mauser Jagdwaffen Gmbh for the small arms business.
