These Lugers are referred to as either VoPo or Russian capture. Both types were captured by the Russians during WW2. Both types went through arsenal rebuilds, where parts where replaced, (many force matched), guns were dip blued as needed and stored. The VoPo guns later went onto service with the East German police, (Volk's Polizie). VoPo guns usually retained their wooden grips. Legend has it that those guns stored by the Russians used a preservative that ruined the wood grips, so plastic grips, either with longitudinal cuts or with shallow checkering and a bull's eye near the center where substituted. Most serial numbers are preceded by an "X" and other marks are frequently "x'd out.
