VoPo or Russian Capture? What is this thing worth?

I think it is easy to come to a conclusion that any VOPO Luger would have been Russian Capture first... After all, the East German DDR was a Soviet backed and supplied regime post war, and the East German Army and Police certainly didn't retain their own weapons after they were overrun by the Russians... I believe the overhaul of captured weapons was Russian controlled and then once inspected and function tested they were issued to the subordinate DDR forces for use. So in answer to the first question asked... both Russian, and VOPO... IMHO.
