Many P38's were imported into the US indirectly from the 'comblock' in order to hide the fact that they were from a 'proscribed' country. Often, any VOPO or similar marks were struck with a round headed punch to solve that problem.

I am told they were shipped to Austria or Switzerland and then to the US with doc's that certified that they did not come from a 'bad' country.

I am sure this applied to the P08, as well?
