East German rework; new to me

LOL! I already have a pair of repro wooden grips that I used when shooting a 1917 Artillery. I wised up a long time ago and no longer shoot valuable weapons with irreplacable parts. I even replaced the genuine numbered firing pin in the rework with a repro. Now I have to replace the numbered extractor.

I did a search on the forum using "VOPO" and came up with some interesting history. It seems that the East Germans even manufactured new parts and frames using WW2 equipment in the 1950's.
