I would not combine RC and Vopo with respect to the "X".

Many Vopo lugers do not have an "X".

I see the X most often on the RC "dipped" weapons, lugers, P 38s and K98s.

I've never seen an explanation of why the "X" was applied; I'm pretty happy just knowing that it appears on RC's.

If I had to choose an explanation, I'd choose door # 2, "x" after refurb, before dip. The ones I've seen are under the finish.

JMHO.
