I kind of have to agree with Heinz in that I saw no markings or indicators other than the grips and possibly the reblue to identify the Luger as Vopo. If it had been stamped with nice sunbursts/shields/numbers that were not obliterated, I might think otherwise. For anyone who wants a Vopo Luger, there are far better examples out there.

Just my opinion but I think it was an excellent choice for Thor's superb restoration.

Why would you want to preserve a crappy restoration because it was done under government auspices.
Because a government arsenal does not restore. A government refurbishes, a totally different game.

Plus this gun was not restored. It was refinished. Also not the same thing.
