VOPO luger

Dear Experts

Does it seems likely that the holdopen, the side plate, and possibly one or both of the toggles are East German (VOPO) made replacement parts on this pistol:

Hi,

Very likely. The takedown lever and sideplate look like DDR reproductions to me.

The toggle could be from a 1933 Sneak(29 DWM). The grips are typical of Russian and it looks like the frame has been "Xed" which is also typical of Russian rebuilds.
