Don't feel that your VoPo Luger is inferior.It was in service from time of manufacture till it was mustered out and you came into possession of it. I can kick myself for not buying a VOPO when I had the chance. 25 years ago when I aquired my first Luger (it was a 1920 commercial)that particular model was at the bottom of the heap and disdained by collectors, now there going at about the same price as others. Quality P-08's were available then at a price (1917 DWM 99% $330.00)

Today the VOPO is not well regarded but it is still a Luger!! Enjoy your purchase and remember that all production Lugers are common with exceptions, supply and demand controls the price. Questions and Answers section of AMERICAN RIFLEMEN had a small article on VOPO Lugers some 5 years back, I saved the article but it is not dated. Good luck
