Hi,

This is a so-called VoPo pistol. A P08 that was refurbished by the East-Germans. The SS-plate is totally out of place. The grips (without that bogus-logo) are typical for VoPo pistols, as is the overall condition of the pistol (dip blue, x-out small part serial numbers, etc..).

Most of the pistol is Mauser made, only the toggle is from a DWM.

Nice example of a DDR VoPo rework, if you ditch the SS-logo. Replacement DDR grips are relatively common, so easy to replace.

Worth about $600 - $700 on a good day.
