Hi,

Here are some illustrations that may be helpfull here.

The VoPo Luger in the 1961 VoPo manual. It clearly shows the VoPo bakelite 'bullseye' grips:

This is a mint example of an East-German VoPo holster, used for the P08, P38 and Tokarev.

Note that the East-Germans used a 4-digit supplier code (somewhat like the 3-digit reich codes). Supplier 1001 is well-known and can be found on the VoPo extruded magazines.
1001 = Haenel in Suhl. Haven't found any code-lists yet, though.
