VoPo Luger?

Doubs · 05-04-2021, 09:18 PM

The barrel is an East German replacement for the original Mauser barrel. Some EG barrels have the C/N plus a three digit date (e.g., "953" indicates it was made in September, 1953) while others have only the C/N. The magazine is also EG, made by the Ernst Thalmann factory.

The front of the frame looks to me to have been scrubbed of the original serial number but the angle makes it difficult to say for certain.

I'm pretty sure the grips are replacements and could also be EG.

So yes, your Luger could well have been used by the Vopo. In my opinion.
