Good Question...
East Germany carried after WWII a lot of captured Lugers still in theyr Police forces. They have had special gauges to measure the Lugers when they made a 1 year inspection. They also cept the Smeisser extruded magazines producing going on and marked them with
2/1001, they made theyr own spare parts like east German side plates etc.
Most VoPo Lugers are reblued sand blasted , re numbered, numbers are x-ed out and new numbers are etched into the steel parts.
Frankonia sold them a few years ago. Probably yours is stamped at the drigger guard with a very small WWF, which is pointing the way to Frankonia trading company.
A picture of your luger would also help.
