East German rework; new to me

Any under barrel markings, like the VoPo crown/N?

This looks like one of the surplus pistols that found their way onto the market when the Russians decided to clean up their arsenals. These pistols all show signs of a quick refurbishing program, consisting of a dip blue finish and the low quality plastic grips.

So not a true VoPo (unless the barrels is crown/N proofed), but one of the pistols from the large Russian stockpiles of seized German handguns.
