Inherited weapon - Question out of Germany

Does it have West-German proofs? That would help date if and when it came to West-Germany. Frankonia imported them in the early 1980s.

The grips look like reproductions. It would have come out of East-Germany with the typical bulls eye VoPo grips.

Vlim, a couple of my Vopo Lugers have walnut grips that do not appear to be original to the pistol. They are as they came to me so I question if all Vopo Lugers came to the West with bullseye grips.
