Very Nice Mark, and also one of the nicest looking sets of East German VOPO bakelite grips I have ever seen... I like these grips for shooting because they are a good fit in the hand, a good fit on the pistol, and very durable and scratch resistant...

Thanks John!
All of my "shooters" have the same "bullseye" grips on them. The Russian grips break easy ... I think they are plastic, not bakelite. I bought a bunch of these grips for my other "shooters" for $25 a pop from Tom Heller but they are getting hard to find. Mark |

I think these guns are sleepers... they are their own bit of history and will become more collectible as time passes...

Just acquired a somewhat similar but decisively different piece. It is an East German manufactured-not re-worked-piece. Apparently made on Krieghoff tooling, the gun is rather crudely finished, is covered with East German proofs, and has a SN prefixed with an N. The magazine matches. Condition of the piece - about 98%-suggests it went from the manufacturer to some Ost Polezi's tisch drawer. It has the bulls eye grips.
Am told there is a DWJ article about these pistols, but I haven't found it...yet. Tom A |
