Default East German rework; new to me

The seller said that it was an East German rework; I bought it as a shooter. It has some forced numbers, a nice thick reblue that doesn't appear to have been buffed too much and even some matching numbers. A CAI import mark is discreetly stamped under the replaced/unnumbered barrel. It was chock full of cosmoline when I got it though the barrel, mag well and outside was clean. The mag has an aluminum base that was painted with some kind of black enamel that has chipped off somewhat. After field stripping and cleaning I took it to the range. It functions perfectly and is quite accurate. The grips don't appear to be VOPO but they fit good enough.

I'm thinking, since this is a shooter, of re-strawing the proper parts and adding repro wooden grips. Do you think I should bother? Do you think this is a VOPO gun?

I'm really pleased with it; its just what I wanted.

Photos below for your valued comments and thoughts.

Thanks!

Charlie
