Luger?? yes I'm a newbie! What is this!

The barrel and receiver appear to be of new East German production. The East Germans produced 100 complete new Lugers in 1953 on captured equipment.

Here is a beautiful and rare example from Mark Castel's collection. The receiver exhibits the same characteristics as the one posted.

As Dwight states, VOPOs are becoming collectable in their own catagory. Prices range from $700 to over $1000 for nice and / or unusual examples. This one would fall in the "unusual" catagory IMO.
