Is the disk inletted into the grip so that the surface is about even with the grip surface? If not, I would guess it is some sort of individual add on, I have no idea why or if it was done post war. As far a the East German re-works go, if might be interesting for everyone to know that not all of these that exist in the U.S are import marked. There were some that found their way in during the 50' and 60's (not thru legit import channels) and many more that were sold to U.S military personnel thru "Rod and Gun Club" exchange stores in the mid to late 80's. These pistols bore no import stamps. These pistols were being sold to the West Germans well before the Berlin Wall went down and in turn a number were sold to the Military Exchange.
