20 years ago, VOPO"S were not considered real Lugers(Meaning original) for they were mismatched, now they are identified as real? Because the French assembled them and they were actually fitted.
VoPo's have nothing to do with the French. It is true, however, that Mauser built pistols under French control and we have very strong evidence that P08's were assembled in French arsenals, using Mauser parts. The VoPo pistols were put back into military and police service by the GDR / DDR in the 1950s and as such are now a recognized collector variation, as are those pistols assembled under French control.

You cannot compare them to an obviously mismatched and messed with commercial luger, how pretty it is otherwise.
