So, the importer is Century Arms, Inc... Perhaps from the batch a few years ago?

Is it a VoPo RC with the s/n renumbering done there?

The magazine looks late, not period. Was there someone in Mexico making them a few years ago?

If this shoots well (and you should verify this before acquisition) it should satisfy your need for a shooter Luger.

Thanks mark, I did a dogpile search on "VoPo Rc"
and there is a ton of info on the whole Russian capture/ East German maintained supply of Lugers,
P-38's and K-98's that came to the USA during the 90's. Also, info on their altered serial number matching plan to enhance sale prices. As you pointed out, some of articles say they shoot very well because they were maintained by the East German armorers.
