James,

IMO, the electro-penciled number would indicate a VoPo. All VoPos were Russian Captured, and then distrubuted to the East German police, who inturn, mixed and force matched parts.

A VoPos, for a lack of a better disciption, are re-worked Russian Captures.

Your Luger was WWI issue, Reichswehr issue, Wermacht issue serving on the Eastern Front, captured by the Russians, and re-issued to the East Germans. Quite a history, for bits of steel and wood.
