I have a VoPo made by Mauser. It has the VoPo grips and two VoPo magazines numbered to the pistol. It has the standard VoPo hot dip blueing.

Now the sob story part. This pistol is all matching, has a minty bore, shows absolutely no signs of wear (It was probably a "rack" pistol and never saw actual VoPo service.) and shows no signs of having had any rust or pitting before it was refinished. In other words it appears as if it was in nearly mint condition before it went through the VoPo rework process. So why did they have to refinish it? Ah, the wonders of the bureaucratic mind set.
