Got the following informations on another forum :
All together makes sense somehow , reworked VOPO Luger, assembled from different parts immediately after WWII, scratched VOPO marks when the gun was sold.1) It appears that the serial number suffix on the front of the frame is "t" which indicates it is what is known as a 29 DWM, produced by BKIW in about 1929. It almost certainly is one of the P08s manufactured and issued to the Prussian Landjägerei in 1929-30. The frame is drilled for a Walther magazine safety and it appears that the slot cut in the frame for this device was nicely filled in when it was removed in 1937. Certainly, the left grip panel is a replacement or else it would have had the upper left corner removed to accommodate this device. 2) On the place concerning your Luger normaly was the star with a number from the Volkspolizei from the former GDR located... There was the regulation in the GDR that these marks have to be scratched out when selling... I think your Luger has the upper part from a so called Vopo-Luger, a reworked Luger from the East-German Police immediately after WWII... |
