Here are a few pictures of my own DDR VoPo rework; a 1917 Erfurt. The sideplate is a forced match while the grips are, obviously, not original. The sear bar and the toggle link pin are also mismatched. All other parts are matching and appear to be original to the gun. The magazine in the pistol is an fxo/37 while the other is a post-war mag I believe. They are serial numbered to the pistol and marked 1 & 2. Number 2 is in the pistol. The bore is in excellent condition. I bought this pistol when they first came into the country years ago for less than $300.
The peened area on the left side of the receiver was once a shield in a star burst as far as I can tell. The shield likely had a number on it. The full numerical serial number to the right of the peened area has been smeared to obscure it.
