VoPo Luger
Does anybody know of a book that that has a fairly substantial section on VoPo Lugers? I just picked one up and would like to learn more about the type.

The ebook "The Luger Producer" (http://www.hlebooks.com/ebook/eluger4.htm), $8 (??), has an analysis article of a particular East Germany Erfurt 1914.

A little patience is needed. A book also touching the VoPo versions is being developed at the moment.

Prior to the above, the only source on the VOPO markings was Buxton's "The P38 Pistol" Vol 3. TH

Wow guys, thanks for the response. It's more than I hoped for. I look forward to the upcoming book mentioned by G. van Vlimmeren. In the meantime, I ordered the Marschall book from ABE...Thanks Ed...and hurry, there is just one more left!
